Another Year

Amanda Palmer - Another Year

i tried to fall in it again

my friends took bets and disappeared

they mime their sighing violins

i think i'll wait another year

i want my chest pressed to your chest

my nervous systems interfere

ten or eleven months have passed

i think i'll wait another year

this weather turns my tricks to rust

i am a lousy engineer

the winter makes things hard enough

i think i'll wait another year

plus i'm only twenty-six years old

my grandma died at eighty-three

that's lots of time if i don't smoke

i think i'll wait another year

i'm not as callous as you think

i barely breath when you are near

it's not as bad when i don't drink

i think i'll wait another year

i have my new bill hicks cd

i have my friends and my career

i'm getting smaller by degrees

you said you'd help me disappear

but that could take forever

i think i'll wait another year

it'll be the best year ever

i think i'll wait another year

can't we just wait together

you bring the smokes, i'll bring the beer

i think i'll wait another year
