Burgundy Place

I drove to Burgundy Place
You haven't smiled in days

We go to brunch every Tuesday
So we don't lose track of time

You say this milk is expired
I joke it must have conspired
With fate and time
To realign molecules
To make us the fools

But you're still drifting
Half stood there
Half listening

Purple-pink skies
And the sadness behind your eyes

We finalize the epitaph lines
And sigh

Take pity now
Take pity now

On the shape of your shadow
Over the hollow space

Where only we know
Here lies a pretty face

Then we bury it
At Burgundy Place

You spin your words on the table
Just like your favorite old records

They skip and stop
In odd places
Still holding on
To your aces

Yeah, you're still drifting
Half stood there
Half thinking
About

Purple-pink skies
And the sadness behind your eyes

We finalize the epitaph lines
And sigh

Take pity now
Take pity now

On the shape of your shadow
Over the hollow space

Where only we know
Here lies a pretty face

Then we bury it
At

Oh
Some ghosts don't go down easy

We hear them cry out
At midnight

Oh
The Sun won't always find us
Standing here
In the best light

As we bleed
To prove we're breathing

And the story
Dies a heathen

No
Some ghosts don't go down easy

At Burgundy Place

Purple-pink skies
And the sadness behind your eyes

We finalize the epitaph lines
And sigh

Take pity now
Take pity now

On the shape of your shadow
Over the hollow space

Where only we know

Here lies
Here lies
Here lies
Here lies

At Burgundy Place
