Lyrics
The Comet Tavern pinball machine glows on your new Levi's.
You're telling me about your dad's recent biopsy results.
I nod and trace the sweat ring from my Rainier tallboy,
Watching her reflection laugh in a stranger's eyes.
[Chorus]
This is the last good night, isn't it?
The known contusion, the pressure in the room.
This is the last good night, isn't it?
A quiet hemorrhage before the bloom.
[Verse 2]

My own heart makes a dull, percussive sound.

[Chorus]

The known contusion, the pressure in the room.
This is the last good night, isn't it?
A quiet hemorrhage before the bloom.
[Bridge]
A diagnosis held under the tongue like a tab of acid.
Just one more hour before the cellular wall goes placid.
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
This is the last good night, isn't it?!
The known contusion, the pressure in the room!
This is the last good night, isn't it?!
A quiet hemorrhage before the bloom!
(Song cuts out abruptly. 4 seconds of silence)
[Outro]
Your laugh echoes off the wet pavement on Pike.
A perfect suture on a gangrenous life.
