DIFFERENT ANIMAL
We shared a cigarette
She said you wanna make a gentleman's bet?
There's someone who you can't forget
A world away

As our hands touched
I said I don't think about it much
Truth be told, it was just a crutch
For me anyway

Our home was destroyed
In Nero's fire
While I was balancing
On a piano wire
I let it alone to disappear
To suck itself off a broken mirror
You can talk to me now
The coast is clear
Our love will be a different animal

Both of us hadve others by our side
Who broke our hearts but never mind
Here's a chance to leave that shit behind

On that riverboat
(That I didn't think would float,
Given the weight of the sour notes
On my mind)

That night she told me of a dream
About someone who looked like me
Who picked from the cored-out apple tree
For the last time

Our home was destroyed
In Nero's fire
While I was balancing
On a piano wire
I let it alone to disappear
To suck itself off a broken mirror
You can talk to me now
The coast is clear
Our love will be a different animal

Both of us had others by our side
Who broke our hearts but never mind
Here's a chance to leave that shit behind
