how shall i to heaven aspire? Lyrics
we have our lives together
and we want nothing more
then we should die together
down here upon the shore
my lips upon your neck
and your legs around my chest
surrounded by every--
thing that we love the best
so we don't have to falter
and see it drawn so slight
cause i would run more proudly
between your thighs tonight
i wanna be a shining example
i wanna be a shining example
i wanna be a shining example
i wanna be a shining example
take these things that i have given
steal five years of my indecision
the things we make, they shall be written
with your wings and my voice of brass bells ringing
well, i wanna be a shining example
i wanna be a shining example
i wanna be a shining example
i wanna be a shining example
i wanna be a shining example
i wanna be a shining example
we have our lives together
and we want nothing less
and should we die tonight, dear
there will be nothing left
and we want nothing more
then we should die together
down here upon the shore
and your legs around my chest
surrounded by every--
thing that we love the best
and see it drawn so slight
cause i would run more proudly
between your thighs tonight
i wanna be a shining example
i wanna be a shining example
i wanna be a shining example
steal five years of my indecision
the things we make, they shall be written
with your wings and my voice of brass bells ringing
i wanna be a shining example
i wanna be a shining example
i wanna be a shining example
i wanna be a shining example
i wanna be a shining example
and we want nothing less
and should we die tonight, dear
there will be nothing left

since i couldn't find rpc's lyrics anywhere, i decided i should try and upload them myself. too bad i couldn't get everything by ear. this is what i could understand. if anyone has anything to add, please leave a comment.
steal five years of my indecision (maybe?)
with your wings and my voice of brass bells ringing
the first part of this song sounds an awful lot like will oldham
i thought it could be "steal five years of my indecision" as well. just didn't think it made a lot of sense. but, as i'm not the only one who thinks that, it's now official. ;) thanks, zoraster!
I've always heard the line as "steeled by years of my indecision," which I think makes more sense in context.
As in:
"tr.v. steeled, steel·ing, steels
