Featuring Josh Segal on bass clarinet and saxophones

lyrics

I'm leaving you Lucy there is nothing I can use
I put it in storage but it still doesn't make sense
Lets not pretend that we still understand each other
I'm leaving you Lucy I'm leaving you for your brother
She stands takes one more look and decides it's all wrong.

And if you don't understand
Look at the man
He's a
Graceful soul on an unpleasant planet
And if you don't know why just ask me
And I will tell you I don't love you I don't love you without
Battin an eyelash

We were so brave once yeah and I was awfully new
We were afraid of what was me and what was you
We didn't want to fade so we made ourselves black and blue
But I've been drinking too much Lucy and I've turned into one big bruise

And if you don't understand
Look at the man
He's a
Graceful soul on an unpleasant planet
And if you don't know why just ask me
And I will tell you I don't love you I don't love you without
Battin an eyelash

How ridiculous do you think I am
How dishonest how cruel I should never have gone to carpentry school
All I got was a wooden spoon
And now I wanna hit you with it
I wanna feed the whole world with it
Feed all the hungry girls and the boys with it
Never could I do right by you never could I do right
Never could I do right by you

I'm leaving this country with a load on my back
I imagine its full of magic tricks and good conversation
The antidote to your indifference is my vulnerability
I can put the emphasis on any cyllable I need
I'm not offended Lucy goosey that you're not sittin on your window sill
Watching the mad mad woman

And if you don't understand
Look at the man
He's a
Graceful soul on an unpleasant planet
And if you don't know why just ask me
And I will tell you I don't love you I don't love you without
Battin an eyelash

I will tell you
I don't love you (repeated)
