One-Night Marriage Lyrics by Erik Segel

One-Night Marriage

2019

Chances are in this
Fine hotel something's amiss
The hallway's filled
With silence of a knife
Lovers in the snow
All the true that true can go
We both know
You're someone else's wife
With the windows shut
And the clothes we cut
To gobble up the breast of night
And no ring comes through
When it's me and you
In this church, this bed, alight
If it's a one-night marriage
Replace the vows with strident moans
Your wedding dress
With the sheets of queens dethroned
If you're up
Up to this one-night marriage
Replace the children with the stars
That shine upon us
From the ceiling of the bar
You know babe
Not even death can part us
It is the dawn that will instead
But December rules
In this castled, frozen room
We shiver with the glasses
And our names
Lovers dressed in flames
Melt the frost on this champagne
We're tamers
Or we're the beast to tame
I'll be counting moles
Or the moons you stole
From the secret, old breast of night
Be the sweet skin wars
With my soul on yours
A kind of altar
For Wrong and Right
If it's a one-night marriage
Replace the vows with strident moans
Your wedding dress
With the sheets of queens dethroned
If you're up
Up to this one-night marriage
Replace the children with the stars
That shine upon us
From the ceiling of the bar
You know babe
Not even death can part us
It is the dawn that will instead
