Aimee Mann - Salvation lyrics

The carbon on the fingerprint that's lifted from the lighter's flint, that caused another smoker's squint, who sees the point but not the light; Salvation And rabble-rousing diatribes revealing more for what it hides, who plays a little off the sides, who swears they can sin in spite Of salvation The gavel of the auctioneer The bureau with the cracked veneer It's going, going, gone but you're not here. So I laughed until I cried, then I chose another side when you asked me to decide between you and staying alive. The horoscope says let it go, the devil is the one you know, the one you love's a domino, A bull with gla** and diamond eyes, And salvation But everywhere is two way gla** and double locks and easy pa**, turn oxygen to laughing gas, give skeletons for Valentine's. Salvation The gavel of the auctioneer, The bureau with the cracked veneer, It's going, going, gone but you're not here. So I laughed until I cried, then I chose another side when you asked me to decide between you and staying alive.
