Reading In Bed Lyrics

Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton Reading In Bed

who's in a bad mood?
who's in the taxi?
turning the clock back
avoiding a fight
with this man he is meeting
stands in the lobby
counting his questions in the neon light
sinking under the river
sewer line touches the edge of the suburbs
back to the beach where a family is waiting
on rumors of summer
lay out a blanket
bring something to feed the birds
with all the luck you've had
why are your songs so sad?
sing from a book
you were reading in bed
and took to heart
all of your lives unlead
reading in bed
