Eloise

eloise, eloise, you alone could not cure me of this incurable disease
i skipped town for some time, when i came home id lost that smile
that youd learned to love & then learned to live without
what was left, sweet eloise, was a haunted memory
of a new lover uncovering the saddest sights in me

nothing makes you wanna quit like a stranger telling you
that the midnight parts inside yr heart are all thats shining through

eloise, eloise, you do not belong to me
but every good woman deserves a life of decent company
well you can polish all yr kings,
but you better play them god damn things
wont you come over tonight, pick up a fight
& learn how to win even when you lose
sweet eloise

but nothing makes you wanna quit like a stranger telling you
that the midnight parts inside yr heart are all but coming true
