Not Tonight Lyrics
Hurts so bad that you know it's not sinning
The funny thing is it's just beginning to feel good
And downstairs all your friends are waiting
They're talking low and filling their stories with angels
And they imagine intervening in true crime photos and placing meaning within them
From blue to red to black-and-white
Don't look too long, you'll be up all night among them
The sudden dead. The last thing he said was
"You should have been here before the camera arrived
Maybe I wouldn't have to die
But just live out this long life jangling
And as old men you could watch my hand dangling, cold and white."
Baby, don't worry tonight;
I know it's too ugly to hold yourself upright
So fill a clean glass, cold and smooth
Take the reds, then take the blues
Away, you can hear a voice that's singing
"Angels could come but you wouldn't believe them
And those that believe still can't see them anyway."
And the suicide slides out of his skin and he climbs inside of the bed you're in and touches your face
He says "what right had I to die when all these little cells just tried to keep me alive?
What right had I to leave the human race behind?
Do you really think you're better
With your shotgun and your suicide letter?
Do you think you're right?
Well baby, don't worry tonight
I know it's too ugly to hold yourself upright
There's a light from the front room

As it's filling with all of your friends
It doesn't get much better than this
And then it ends."
And then it ends
It doesn't get much better that this
And then it ends
