400 Flights from Bells Below by Lil Sluggers

Baby don’t you know that it’s not safe here?
Tell me can’t you see that it’s not fine?
There are some who will say to you stasis is safer
But come on now, that can’t be right
Who was that with the never-same rivers?
Well I think that he must have it nice

Always figured I’d be there to save you
Did you really need saving at all?
I could swear I was Orpheus, dancing down four hundred
Flights of hell, charming them all
Now your pious eyes focus right through me
And what’s true for you is lost on me

But the look you just gave me - it felt so like an end
And we count all our blessings just to find out what we’ll miss

What was it that made me so uptight?
History, posterity in mind
So I wrote little roles for us, cataloged dialogue
Falls apart when it hits life
You were more than I ever gave credit
And I never was fit for this

But the look you just gave me - it felt so like an end
And we count all our blessings just to find out what we’ll miss
