Your gaze is down, your face is red
There’s crystals forming in your eyes
The shadows swim in your pillow’s indent
Your blood’s all blue again
The lines dance on your favourite bedspread
You always like to straighten them out
I guess you got that from your dad
I feigned love to fall in it
I called a spade a spade and now I’m all ashamed
And I was raised to make the best of all I have
Now what’s my best good for?
Ooh, for a four bit love
Ooh, for a four bit love
Ooh, for a four bit love
And on and on we go
Who’s down in the garden tonight
Every drink’s on you but not the joke
You take stock of all the laughing
And every flower bows as you walk by
You painted pickets in a cul-de-sac
And looked out on the street that stretched out forever
And day followed night and on it went
And you wished your friends all the best
I feigned love to fall in it
I called a spade a spade and now I’m all ashamed
And I was raised to make the best of all I have
Now what’s my best good for?
Ooh, for a four bit love
Ooh, for a four bit love
Ooh, for a four bit love
And on and on we go
Tracing eyes with your eyes as you watch the news
Tragedy is everywhere
Okay for some and better for you, I s’pose
And you can slide like the grease on a gun
Always clicking with your mouth
And your lips can kiss and they like to
Gotta find a sweet girl
High and low I don’t know them
Bridges over water I don’t trouble myself
And I was raised to make the best of all I have
Now what’s my best good for?
Ooh, for a four bit love
Ooh, for a four bit love
Ooh, for a four bit love
And on and on we go
Rounding corners just to round back again
Your mind really loves to drive
But you’re talking green and the lights are red
Eyeballs scour the sidewalk
And your week is an ocean, the -end: an island
And you’ve been swimming all damn day
Yeh we all bottom out when we have to feed
And you’ve worked up quite an appetite
I feigned love to fall in it
I called a spade a spade and now I’m all ashamed
And I was raised to make the best of all I have
Now what’s my best good for?
Ooh, for a four bit love
Ooh, for a four bit love
Ooh, for a four bit love
And on and on we go
