Daniel Romano - Ugly Human Heart Pt. 1 Lyrics

She crawled into the tavern
With her stringy hair
All tangled like a brier
My habits took her by the hands
But this time they were branded from the fire
Oh

If I had any sense at all
I would have had those officers arrest her
But something in the desperate light of nature
Wouldn't let good reason register

Her ugly human heart

We walked the arid sunrise
And then back again
Through webs already spun
We were dancing on the unmarked graves of everything that
Cannot be undone
Oh

If I was wearing anything at all
I probably wore it on my sleeve
'Cause love's enough for any fool to put on
Quick as something to believe in like

Her ugly human heart

Yes, there were shapes of ancient wonder
'Long the trails of piling rocks
And foggy dew
And though it seemed like make believe
The assassins are all fleshy and true
What about you?
All the while I stood in style
My fingers either occupied or crossed
And though our cards were counted
We still folded every hand until we lost
Everything but

Her ugly human heart
