[00:00:00] For Mayor In Splitsville (Live) - La Dispute

[00:00:21] Funny what you think of after a collapse

[00:00:25] While lying in the dirt the first thing

[00:00:28] That comes back is never quite what you'd have guessed

[00:00:32] And if you could have

[00:00:34] You probably would've said

[00:00:35] You'd check if all your limbs were intact still and

[00:00:38] Then try to get out

[00:00:40] We played house with the neighbors in their basement

[00:00:44] Sister made me husband she was older so I did her bidding

[00:00:49] I remember once their dad came in said

[00:00:52] You think this is bad

[00:00:54] You don't know the half

[00:00:55] And he laughed

[00:00:56] It's funny what things come back

[00:00:59] The first things you see

[00:01:00] How he sort of smiled like

[00:01:02] It's only a joke but he was lying

[00:01:05] There was something else inside of his eyes

[00:01:08] All those secrets people tell to little children

[00:01:12] Are warnings that they give them

[00:01:14] Like Look I'm unhappy

[00:01:16] Please don't make the same mistake as me

[00:01:21] Why are those old worn out jokes on married life

[00:01:25] Told at toasts at receptions still

[00:01:30] How does it never occur how often couples

[00:01:34] Get burned and end uncertain in Splitsville

[00:01:42] Funny what you think of in the wreckage

[00:01:46] Lying there in the dirt and the dust and the glass

[00:01:52] How you're suddenly somewhere in the desert

[00:01:56] In the nighttime

[00:01:57] And it's getting close to Christmas

[00:01:59] And then her and that movie voice

[00:02:02] She uses when she reads

[00:02:03] Welcome to the Land of Enchantment

[00:02:06] From a highway sign

[00:02:07] And it's late so you take the next exit

[00:02:11] When that trip ended

[00:02:12] We came back the rent was due I was jobless

[00:02:17] I guess in retrospect I should've sensed decay

[00:02:20] Then that day how you said

[00:02:22] I just don't know and I promised

[00:02:25] We'd rearrange things to fix the mess I'd made here

[00:02:28] But I guess in the end we just moved furniture around

[00:02:33] But I guess in the end we just moved furniture around

[00:02:37] But I guess in the end we just moved furniture around

[00:02:41] But I guess in the end it sort of feels

[00:02:45] Like every day

[00:02:46] It's harder to stay happy where you are

[00:02:49] There are all these ways to look through the fence

[00:02:52] Into your neighbor's yard

[00:02:54] Why even risk it

[00:02:56] It's safer to stay distant

[00:02:58] When it's so hard now to just be content

[00:03:00] Because there's always something else

[00:03:05] Now I'm proposing my own toast

[00:03:08] Composing my own joke for those married men

[00:03:11] Maybe I'm miserable

[00:03:13] I'd rather run for mayor in Splitsville

[00:03:17] Than suffer your jokes again
