[Verse 1]

Oh, the last time I saw Paul

I was horrible and almost let him in

But I stopped and caught the wall

And my mouth got dry so all I did was take him for a spin

Yeah, we hopped inside my car

And I drove in circles 'round the freight train yard

And he turned the headlights off

Then he pulled the bottle out

And then he showed me what was love

[Chorus]

I'll be your morning bright goodnight shadow machine

I'll be your record player, baby, if you know what I mean

I'll be your real tough cookie with the whiskey breath

I'll be a killer and a thriller and the cause of our death

[Verse 2]

In the blossom of the months

I was sure that I'd get driven off with thought

So I swallowed all of it

As I realized there was no one who could kiss away my shit

[Chorus]

I'll be your morning bright goodnight shadow machine

I'll be your record player baby if you know what I mean

I'll be your real tough cookie with the whiskey breath

I'll be a killer and a thriller and the cause of our death

[Verse 3]

Paul, I know you said that you'd take me any way I came or went

But I'll push you from my brain

See, you're gentle, baby

I couldn't stay, I'd only bring you pain

[Chorus]

I was your starry-eyed lover and the one that you saw

I was your hurricane rider and the woman you'd call

We were just two moonshiners on the cusp of a breath

And I've been burning for you baby since the minute I left
