Emily Haines - Carpet lyrics

You can burn your paper fingers in the ashtray

Drown your swollen lips in my ruby wine

You can shave your heavy head in my carpeted hallway

Lie on the floor like so many before, being sure for the first time

You chosen the right clothes to wear, a-ah

You can burn your paper fingers in the ashtray

Drown your swollen lips in my ruby wine

You can shave your heavy head in my carpeted hallway

Is your laugh to erase all the dirt in this place?

Making sure for the last time together is nowhere

A-ah
