Rilo Kiley The Absence of God Lyrics

The absence of God will bring you comfort, baby
And plannin's for the poor
So let's pretend that we're rich
And I'm not my body or how I choose to destroy it

Folk singers sing songs for the workin', baby
We're just recreation for all those doctors and lawyers
There's no relief for the bleedin' heart
Cause they'll be losin' bodies tonight...

And Rob says, "You love, love, love
Then you die."
I've watched him while sleepin'
And seen him cryin' with closed eyes

And you're not happy
But you're funny
And I'm trippin' over my joy
And I just keep on gettin' up again

We could be daytime drunks if we wanted
We'd never get anything done that way, baby
And we'd still be ruled by our duelin' perspectives
And I'm not my perspective or the lies I'll tell you every time

And Morgan says, "Maybe love won't let you down.
All of your failures are trainin' grounds
And just as your back's turned, you'll be surprised,"
She says, "As your solitude subsides."

And Mike, I'll teach ya how to swim
If you turn the bad in me into good again

And I say there's trouble when everything is fine
The need to destroy things creeps up on me every time
And just as love's silhouette appears
I'll close my eyes and disappear tonight...

And somethin's gotta change
Cause our love's the slowest movin' train
