She says 'A minute from now, I'll be dead, I'll be dead' He says 'A minute from now, I won't mind' It takes a minute or ten for her to hear what he said But by then there's no meaning to find
I will love you forever The wolf says to the sheep But when we're not together It's a promise she can't keep
God damn
She says 'In twenty-five years, you'll move on, you'll move on' But she's talking to a shadow that has already gone Though he left with no excuses, just the scars to tell How a man becomes accustomed to the comforts of his hell
God damn
She says 'A minute from now, I'll be dead, I'll be dead You'll be talking to a hole in the back of my head' Like a threat were a kiss that can melt all the past But it's ugly and hollow and it will be your last
