Longevity Lyrics

Harmonizing with a ghost of a late face
Just like the old days
Golden seaplane
Dollar tossed in the take bin
What a bargain
Turned up in yellow night
Found oysters on the beach
Undressed from the waist

My girl says that
All the rain promises is
To give life to the seeds, sea
Live in the moment
Never count on longevity
Please

Ribbons showing
Very plainly on her skin
Okay I want in
Heels overhead
With her
Never monetized
My lovely space case

The times I'm in (there?) are cheap
Legs bruised up from the beast
Undressed from the waist

My girl says that
All the rain promises is
To give life to the seeds, sea
Live in the moment
Never count on longevity
Please

and all this time I was belting out "undressed from the waist" (..my girl says..). whoops.

I think it is "undressed from the waist." I'm unconvinced by this rendition.

i agree, it's definately 'undressed from the waist'.

check out this live version, you can hear it way clearer - http://youtu.be/b1htldyyUfA?hd=1&t=1m15s

I updated the lyrics and I'm about 95% on it, just one word basically that I'm not positive on. Here is the clearest live version I've found, it helped clear up a lot of the lyrics:
