Erik Segel – One-Night Marriage lyrics
Chances are in this
Fine hotel something's amiss
The hallway's filled
With silence of a knife.
Lovers in the snow
All the true that true can go,
We both know
You're someone else's wife.
With the windows shut
And the clothes we cut
To gobble up the breast of night.
And no ring comes through
When it's me and you
In this church, this bed, alight.
If it's a one-night marriage
Replace the vows with strident moans,
Your wedding dress
With the sheets of queens dethroned.
If you're up
Up to this one-night marriage
Replace the children with the stars
That shine upon us
From the ceiling of the bar.
You know babe,
Not even death can part us,
It is the dawn that will instead.
But December rules
In this castled, frozen room,
We shiver with the glasses
And our names.
Lovers dressed in flames
Melt the frost on this champagne,
We're tamers,
Or we're the beast to tame.
I'll be counting moles,
Or the moons you stole
From the secret, old breast of night,
Be the sweet skin wars
With my soul on yours
A kind of altar
For Wrong and Right.
Fine hotel something's amiss
The hallway's filled
With silence of a knife.
Lovers in the snow
All the true that true can go,
We both know
You're someone else's wife.
With the windows shut
And the clothes we cut
To gobble up the breast of night.
And no ring comes through
When it's me and you
In this church, this bed, alight.
If it's a one-night marriage
Replace the vows with strident moans,
Your wedding dress
With the sheets of queens dethroned.
If you're up
Up to this one-night marriage
Replace the children with the stars
That shine upon us
From the ceiling of the bar.
You know babe,
Not even death can part us,
It is the dawn that will instead.
But December rules
In this castled, frozen room,
We shiver with the glasses
And our names.
Lovers dressed in flames
Melt the frost on this champagne,
We're tamers,
Or we're the beast to tame.
I'll be counting moles,
Or the moons you stole
From the secret, old breast of night,
Be the sweet skin wars
With my soul on yours
A kind of altar
For Wrong and Right.
