the women are dressed up and they are up to no good 

you're dressed up for liberation 

you flash that fire flag you fly above 

the bright hot sails of your eyes 

they say vaguely goodbye(x2) 

there is a long delay in our words 

then there are no words 

and I lay down tonight as nervous as a bride 

she's not nervous but she tries(x2) 

and it's vaguely goodbye(x3)
