Verse 1

It's getting cold

 Thought it was too soon to

 tell but it was terribly old

 and as the heartbeat

 slows to a heartless crawl

The lights went out The lights

 went out and darkness filled the

 house on tiring night

 under a Long Is land sky

Chorus 1

I thought I'd known the consequence

but sweetness can you believe

 this? This mess we've made of it

This mess we've made of it

In years to come it might

 make sense but sweetness

did you believe this?

Just what's become of it?

What's become of it?

Verse 2

If you hear this and

 you think you're ready

 then meet me in Montauk where

 we'll write out in the sand

Here lies the destiny of 2

 hurt souls afraid to be cured a gain

 That could be our e pitaph

Chorus 2

I thought I'd known the consequence

but sweetness can you believe

 this? This mess we've made of it

This mess we've made of it

In years to come it might

 make sense but sweetness

did you believe this?

Just what's become of it?

What's become of it?
