Rilo Kiley - The Absence Of God Lyrics
The absence of god will bring you comfort, baby,
And planning's for the poor so let's pretend that we're rich,
And i'm not my body or how i choose to destroy it.
Folk singers sing songs for the workin' baby.
We're just recreation for all those doctors and lawyers,
'Cause they'll be losing bodies tonight.
And rob says "you love, love, love, love and then you die..."
I've watched him while sleeping and seen him crying
With closed eyes.
And you're not happy, but you're funny, and i'm tripping over my joy.
I just keep on getting up again.
We could be daytime drunks if we wanted,
But we'd never get anything done that way, baby,
And i'm not my perspective, or the lies i'll tell you every time.
And morgan says, "maybe love won't let you down.
All of your failures are training grounds
And just as your back's turned, you'll be surprised," she says,
"as your solitude subsides."
And mike, i'll teach you how to swim
If you turn the bad in me into good again.
And i say "there's trouble when everything is fine..."
The need to destroy things creeps up on me every time,
And just as love's silhouette appears i close my eyes
And disappear, tonight...
And something's got to change
'Cause our love's the slowest moving train

Absolutely Beautiful Song
The absence of God will bring you comfort, baby
And planning's for the poor, so let's pretend that we're rich
And I'm not my body or how I choose to destroy it
Folk singers sing songs for the working, baby
We're just recreation for all those doctors and lawyers
There's no relief for the bleeding heart, 'cause they'll be losing bodies tonight
And Rob says you love, love, love, and then you die
I've watched him while sleepin' and seen him cryin' with closed eyes
And you're not happy but you're funny, and I'm tripping over my joy
I just keep on getting up again
We could be daytime drunks if we wanted, we'd never get anything done that way, baby
And we'd still be ruled by our dueling perspectives
And I'm not my perspective, or the lies I'll tell you every time
And Morgan says maybe love won't let you down
All of your failures are training grounds
And just as your back's turned, you'll be surprised, she says, as your solitude subsides
And Mike I'll teach you how to swim, if you can turn the bad in me into good again
And I say there's trouble when everything is fine
The need to destroy things creeps up on me every time
And just as love's silhouette appears, I close my eyes and disappear tonight
And something's gotta change, 'cause our love's the slowest moving train
"lyrics from the song"
This song fits, especially when Satan is God, as it is in the Rogue Valley of Southern Oregon.
sounds like jim croce. but with jenny lewis singing. totally awesome
fuck. this is so good.
I'm not sure if this, More Adventurous, or Portions For Foxes is my favorite song off this album, but I'm so glad I picked this album up a few months ago.
the need to destroy thing creeps up on me every time
And I'm not my body or how I choose to destroy it.
"and somethings got to change, cause our love's the slowest moving train."
Where's the lyrics on this one?
Thank you.
