lyrics

Anne was an aspiring actress working in a cafe called Muy Aquario
She got a face tattoo of her social done down in the spokes of the barrio
And by the time she turned 20, she'd been hired to ghostwrite the autobiography of frozen rain
She went through so many insomniac poet boyfriends, and all of them surrendered to themselves just the same
So she said, "Love isn't fun, and love isn't free, no one in the universe will ever love me"

Pain of ages
I can hear you
All wrapped in your linens
Yeah, I know
Pain of ages

Now she's sleeping in a hut in the country working in a city built from steel guitar pride
See her smoking a cigar on the old back porch, and all smiling and triple-fried
She gives way to no lovers, no, it isn't for her, and she will never feel sorry for herself anymore
She just watches Evil Dead 2 on DVD and builds small clay models of the earth's inner core
She's into igneous rocks, she likes 70s socks
Her friends all took care of her when she got chicken pox

A love of ages
I can hear you
And all crushed in your pillows
Yeah, I know
A love of ages

I can hear you
All wrapped in your linens
Yeah, I know
A love of ages
