No Rest Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I used to be a king alone
Like Solomon or Rehoboam
And in the eaves the corvidae
Did jealous keep my picture frames
And everything did oxidate in place
[Verse 2]
But then you came, a single cell
With astrolabe and carousel
And algebra and symmetry
And none of this was lost on me
And I could see how still I'd been before
If I don't eat, I don't sleep at all
Like limbs in procession
Like so many birds
Stampeding like oxen
Our hearts are a herd
I loved you in the bed
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the bed
[Chorus]
Did you see the light in my heart?
Did you see the sweat on my brow?
Did you see the fear in my heart?
Did you see me bleeding out?
I used to be a king alone
Like Solomon or Rehoboam
And in the eaves the corvidae
Did jealous keep my picture frames
And everything did oxidate in place
[Verse 2]
But then you came, a single cell
With astrolabe and carousel
And algebra and symmetry
And none of this was lost on me
And I could see how still I'd been before
If I don't eat, I don't sleep at all
Like limbs in procession
Like so many birds
Stampeding like oxen
Our hearts are a herd
I loved you in the bed
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the bed
[Chorus]
Did you see the light in my heart?
Did you see the sweat on my brow?
Did you see the fear in my heart?
Did you see me bleeding out?
I loved you in the bed
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the bed
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the bed
