lyrics

and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down to the grave
and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down to the grave
and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down to the grave
and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down

you won't get rid of me, so easily Eurydice
with all your amphetamine, mortal flaw deficiencies
you won't get ahead of me, too far, a few stars, you better be
leaving breadcrumbs, locks of hair, expensive perfume marks the air
impending doom and bedlam, i'm head strong travel headlong
won't head home - till i get you get back in front of me

and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down to the grave
and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down to the grave
and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down to the grave
and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down

you won't get rid of me, so easily Eurydice
with all the remedies, antidotes for atrophy
i'll trace ya steps and i'll chase ya death, i'm weighted on, baited breath
just leave me breadcrumbs, locks of hair, expensive perfume to mark the air
excuse me River Styx, excuse cerebus
a sympathetic symphony for Lady Persephone

i play a tune to a woman's ear, Hades removed, he doesn't care
he loves his queen or at least, doesn't want to argue everything
one caveat, before we leave, my sweet Eurydice
i can't look at you to know, that you're near me or you'll go
finally trapped to the grave, betrothed to the shades
so i must brave my gaze - on the ground in front of me

and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down to the grave
and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down to the grave
and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down to the grave
and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down

and so i lead us on, this rocky path, blind faith is strong
i hear you stumble, i don't reach to help, i need to just keep to my self
i hear you cry and i hear you breathe, then it all starts to recede
pass the hounds and foul rivers to meadow fields and warm dinners
i see a light, don't hear you though, the gods play tricks on people so
i turn around - and you fade in front of me
