lyrics

He is no better than me
When he plays the notes between the keys
As if he were walking a tight rope between buildings
He is no better than me

Mouths don't listen, eyes don't explain
However petty in accusal, however shallow in blame
A thousand dollar bills become a thousand paper cranes
He is no better than me

Love is an alien invading force
Ties you up like windchimes to a rocking horse
Like moths battering our bodies against the windows and the doors
He is no better than me

Looking at me like mud she'd just tracked into the house
With eyes that were like a civil war statue's
In glass shoes you stand up for who you are
And you will wind up waiting alone in the car

Reading a book so big you could beat a man to death with it
I look at the sky I know there isn't a word worth a breath of it
Just some more broken glass glittering in the trash
He is no better than me

Never trust someone who crushes your hand when she shakes it
Who weighs your soul like a kilo when she takes it
Pour it out like warm wine and all the scars go away
And you are white as a kite fashioned from an old wedding dress train
We are cut from the same crushed velvet
He is no better than me
He is no better than me
He is no better than me
