Sweet wine Lyrics

Clouds of clustered gnats drift off

In drowsy heat wave haze

When there's nothing better to do than sit

And listen to the way

That I'll still watch the minutes

Turn the hours into days

We starve ourselves

In this war of attrition

A pretty play

A pretty play

Star-crossed lovers playing tennis

Or addicts playing chess

We entertain mosquitos

Pumping blood out from our chests

You said I was a menace

I said I tried my best

To kneel down at the alter

Pay a dollar to confess

Oh I'll confess

Sturdy trees with shaking leaves

A spider made my bed

Your hearts out on your sleeve

And you'd trade it for a cigarette

In the air the smoke will linger

And swell with every single breath

I jammed up all my fingers

And I scared you half to death

Half to death

They'll warn me of the danger

As I commit the fatal crime

I'll sleep out on the table

As our fingers intertwine

I'll pray for your affliction

I know you'll pray for mine

I'm tired

But I'm able

To turn my blood into wine

Into wine

Oh into wine

Oh into wine

Cold front's coming in now

It'll last for several days

Play me your favorite song

And I'll get caught up in it's sway

Meet me at the alter

I'm sure I'll enjoy my stay

Tried to pull myself together

But I pushed you all away

All away

I'll underline the pages

Key words and classic text

Nevermind the painting

I know I made a mess

I'll pass out on the pavement

Or fall and break my neck

Intoxicated driver

The family's a wreck

You said I was a menace

I'll grin and do my time

Cut me open

Pour me out

And drink the sweetest wine
