[Intro]
Well, guy in a skeleton costume
Comes up to the guy in the Superman suit
Runs through him with a broadsword

[Verse 1]
I flip the television off
Bring all the bright lights up
Turn the radio up loud
I don't know why I'm so persuaded
That if I think things through
Long enough and hard enough
I'll somehow get to you

But then you came in
And we locked eyes
You kicked the ashtray over as we came toward each other
Stubbed my cigarette out against the west wall
Quickly lit another

[Chorus 1]
Look at that
Would you look at that
We're throwing off sparks
What will I do when I don't have you to hold onto in the dark?
[Verse 2]
Yes, everybody's gonna need a witness
Everybody's gonna need a little backup in case the scene gets nasty
You throw the attic window open
And I throw myself all around you
And night comes to Tallahassee
I don't know why it's gotten harder
To keep myself away
I thought I'd finally beat the feeling back
It all came back today

And then we fell down
And we locked arms
We knocked the dresser over as we rolled across the floor
I don't mean it when I tell you
That I don't love you anymore

[Chorus 2]
Look at that
Would you look at that
The way the ceiling starts to swerve
What will I do when I don't have you
When I finally get what I deserve
