Rarely do I devote a full entry to song lyrics, but I'm hoping that doing this will help get this song out of my head. One thing I can be grateful for is it pushed about six other songs I've been singing all week out. You don't know what fun is until you have half an album cycling through your head.

By the way, the song is "Absence Of God" by Rilo Kiley. Lyrics transcribed by me, and because of that, they're by no means official but pretty close. If by any chance you do want to download the live version of this yet to be recorded song, you can do so here.It just sounds so good to me.

The absence of God will bring you comfort, baby
And planning's for the poor so let's pretend that we're rich
And I'm not my body or how I choose to destroy it
Folk singers sing songs for the working, baby

We're just recreation for all those doctors and lawyers
There's no relief for the bleeding heart
'Cause they'll be losing bodies tonight

And Rob says you love, love, love and then you die
I've watched him while sleeping and seen him crying with closed eyes
And you're not happy but you're funny and I'm tripping over my joy
But I just keep on getting up again

We could be daytime drunks if we wanted
We'd never get anything done that way baby
And we'd still be ruled by our dueling perspectives
And I'm not my perspective
Or the lies I'll tell you every time

And Morgan says, 'maybe love won't let you down
All of your failures are training grounds
And just as your back's turned you'll be surprised' she says, 'as your solitude subsides'

And Mike I'll teach you how to swim
If you turn the bad in me into good again

And I say there's trouble
When everything is fine
The need to destroy things
Creeps up on me every time
Just as love's silhouette appears
I close my eyes and disappear tonight

And something's got to change
'Cause our love's the slowest moving train
