Damage Control

Carry me across the threshold
Push me down the rabbit hole for tea
Smiling while our lips and teeth grow cold
We will walk a plank into the sea

And over the years you'll be bored with me
And over the years I'll threaten to leave

And so the story goes
I try to fix it
Damage Control
Then you give me your lips to kiss
Oh that's low
You say "I love you"
We both know it's true

You will where a suit of armor
I will keep a secret up my sleeve
Suspicion is a crawling spider
Oh what a lovely web we weave

And over the years we'll have separate beds
And over the years you'll say it's all in my head
And so the story goes
I try to fix it
Damage Control
Then you give me your lips to kiss
Oh that's low
You say "I love you"
We both know it's true
