He Said He Had A Story Lyrics by The Dear Hunter

Act III: Life and Death

2009

[Verse 1]
There was a silver circle sign
And she was standing at the door
We pressed our way right through the crowd
Our pace was quickened to her floor
There was a single feigning light
And there was silk all on the walls
She had a lot of love to give
I was prepared to take it all
(But what did she do next?)
[Verse 2]
She had disrobed and she was
Waiting on the floor
She asked me what it was I want
I thought that I wanted it all
(What did you say?)
I said, "Stand up
And move your body to the bed"
She quickly stood and slowly turned
And here's exactly what she said
[Chorus 1]
"Please be soft and sweet to me
This life has not been good, you see
It's hard with such a history
Buried in misery"
(And what did you do next?)
[Verse 3]
I broke a smile
Reminding that I paid her well
Her lips returned, and then I felt her hands
Unbuckling my belt
(So was it good?)
It felt like heaven
But I'm sure she was in Hell
I made it clear I'd get my money's worth
Out of the goods she sells
[Chorus 2]
Break and bind yourself to me
Deliver what you sold, you see that
I will only take from you
And use it up, I'll use you up
What was your name?
[Chorus 2]
Break and bind yourself to me
Deliver what you sold, you see that
I will only take from you
And use it up, I'll use you up
What was your name?
