An Army Of Lovers Cannot Fail

I love you, baby, but I know you don't understand
When the good lord made me, he made me sad
The best i've felt my whole life is when I was in your hands
But you deserve better than what I have to give

We slept under your mother's quilt
And drew pictures on paper bags
Of birds we'd seen in tennessee the time we lost our map
But there's bears in the balcony in the drunken dream I had
They climbed up there; they came for me and left only the whiskey glass

I'll love you, baby, but I know you don't understand
When the highway takes me, I ain't coming back
The best I've slept in a long time is when I was in your bed
But tonight I'll whisper 'goodbye' as you lay there

If they send the wolves I'll join the wolves
And I'll return some day with my teeth sharper and my blood hotter
I'll be the dog by your grave with a hanging tongue and a ribcage
And a chewed-up tail, howling with my last exhale
An army of lovers cannot fail
