lyrics

TAKE THE ROPE

take the rope from where your neck was sold
and you'll be spinning like a top
all we wanted was your golden shoulder
so we're gonna dig it up


you're a silhouette against a summer lawn
your shadow doubles in the street
doing work you know is gonna split your jaw
because you take it for the team

you didn't need to shrug it off
there didn't need to be a cause
we didn't mean to even call it love
when all we gave you was a round
of red applause


the stitch was stolen from its seam
the river vanished into steam
and you won't ever have to eat or breathe
you're just a statuette
you're just a silver sheen

- claire cronin
