Saw a dancer that I knew from my time underground
She's older now and a waitress at a bar downtown
Though the years have been long and were showing
She took me home and laid my head on her chest
Bore back are the corners of a teenage heart
Impossible to break just like you are
Congregation stood up and said that we noticed
There's a good chance that this whole place will burn
It's been years but I think I've been here before
Is this the place where you stand to get your reward
All the hours that they spent at keeping score
It was never really love, it's a war
It's a war
And I'm darkening doors
I'm just darkening doors
Tempest in a teacup
Come with a little surprise
Wrapped up in a sweater
A couple of decent lies
Stepped over the edge into the water
Who knew that you would sink like a stone
It's a wonder that its anywhere, anywhere at all
All the people that I love and cannot recall
I could be wrong, I think that we might be ghosts
Just hanging 'round for a glorious summer
It's been years but I think I've been here before
Is this the place where you stand to get your reward
All the hours that they spent at keeping score
It's never really love, it's a war
It's a war
And I'm darkening doors
I'm just darkening doors
