"Endgame" lyrics - ROBERT FRIPP

I just sank into sleep
The conversation wasn't worth repeating
Faith would start the morning off
By judging love, she had finally found me wanting
She said that I was born with one foot in the door
Displays of affection, but you don't know what it's for
And Jesus said, "Don't worry son
That's just the sound of God laughing"

Her room was quite a mess
The court said I had no defense against her
Her bags were packed, the doors are closing
The three day truce of hostilities was over
I thought I'd notice when my tail was in the fire
She'd dress the wounds with vitriol
To keep the burns alive
And Jesus said, "If you listen good
You'll hear the sound of God laughing"

Last chances is in the car
The fine white lines are leading to the station
I'll start the journey off
Defining love with a thousand explanations
Rows of telegraph poles where the railway meets the sea
Counting crucifixions on this road to Calvary
And the DJ said, "You've been listening to
The wonderful sound of God laughing"

And Jesus said, "Well, it's over once
You've heard the sound of God laughing"
