Emily Haines Carpet Lyrics

Carpet Lyrics

You can burn your paper fingers in the ashtray

Drown your swollen lips in my ruby wine

You can shave your heavy head in my carpeted hallway

Lie on the floor like so many before being sure for the first time

You chose the right clothes to wear



You can burn your paper fingers in the ashtray

Drown your swollen lips in my ruby wine

As you laugh to erase to erase all the dirt in this place

Making sure for the last time together is nowhere
