los campesinos! - (all's well that ends) in medias res lyrics

but let’s talk about you for a minute
with the vomit in your gullet
from a half-bottle of vodka that you’d stolen from the optic
in the back seat of your car because it wasn’t safe to start it
“you’re far to f-cked to drive” were the words that you imparted
and the woollen dress that clung so tight
to the contours of your body
and the dead gr-ss stuck to fibres
from us rolling in the lay-by
we’re p-ssed to dog-haired blankets
that protected the bench seat covers
and a crucifix was hung from rear-view mirror by your mother

i’m leaving my body to science; not medical but physics
drag my corpse through the airport and lay me limp on the left wing
drop me at the highest point and trace a line around the dent i leave in the ground:
that’ll be the initial of the one you’ll marry now i’m not around
i flew for seven hours
the sky didn’t once turn black

you know i’d sooner go down in a ball of flame
than i would lay here and be bored to death
all’s well that ends
i wake from sleep, my head and shoulders wet against the window
a frost had formed and melted, soaked me right through to my collarbone
if you were given the option of dying painlessly in peace at forty-five
but with a lover at your side, after a full and happy life
is this something that would interest you?
would this interest you at all?
