Elvis Perkins - The Dumps lyrics

rate me

The heavens are smiling upon us

The great, white, toothless grin of the newborn and the dying here among us

We are starting the living again

You have stopped your shivering

You won't go to the lake in the mirror again

The sea stops tonight and all her little children are hanging tight

As I have stopped my moon-walking, glad to say

It's oh so tired, and so am I, of stalking yesterday

The past will rust in peace

The past will rust in peace

As the heavens are smiling upon us

The goodnight, toothless grin of the newborn and the dying here among us

We are starting the living again

It's been one lousy couple of months, but now we are coming out of the dumps

And everything is calling our names, though the sunshine units are here to stay

Like Adam makes small talk with Eve on their six-month anniversary

They will go home in separate cars

Yes, they will sleep under separate stars

You have stopped your shivering

You won't go to the lake in the mirror again

The sea stops tonight and all her little children are sleeping tight

As I have stopped my moon-walking, glad to say

It's oh so tired, and so am I, of stalking yesterday

The past will rust in peace

The past will rust in peace

As the heavens are smiling upon us

The ghost white, shit-eating grin of the newborn and the dying here among us

We are starting the living again

We are starting the living again

We are starting the living again<br />
