Rilo Kiley - Absense of God LYRICS

the absence of God will bring you comfort, baby

and plans for the poor, so lets pretend that we're rich.

and im not my body throw it at you used to do with it

folk singers sing songs for the workin', baby

were just recreation, for those docotors and those lawyers

theres no relief for their heavy hearts

cause they'll be loosin' bodies tonight



and Rob says maybe love won't let you down

all of your failures are trainin' grounds

and just as your backs turned you'll be surprised he says as your solitude subsides.



we could be daytime drunks if we wanted

we'd never get anyting done that way, baby.

and we'd still be ruled by our duelin' presepctives

and i'm not my story or perspective

or the lies i'll tell you every time



and Rob says you love love love, and then you die

ive watched him while sleepin' and seen him cryin' with closed eyes



and your not happy but your funny

and im trippin' over my joy

but i just keep on gettin' up again



teach you how to swim

you turn the bad and mean into good again



and i say there's trouble when everything is fine

need to destroy things, creeps up on me everytime

and just as loves sillouette appears

i close my eyes and dissapear with you tonight



and somethings gotta change

because our loves the slowest movin' train
