Texty: The Fiery Furnaces. I'm Going Away. Staring At The Steeple.

You followed me to Manchester
To meet the guy who says my name
You heard him say my name
You heard him say my name

And now you gotta know where he stands from
Inside a booth or behind a desk or on his own two feet
Now we're gonna sit down, sit down face to face

I'm staring at the steeple
I'm staring at the steeple
I wonder who's preaching

They say it's two women in there
They say one wears a robe, one wears a crystal
One keeps time and the other keeps a pistol

He sent me a check for a thousand dollars
I thought it was a gift but boy, was I wrong
Now I'm supposed to go and cash his check
And give it out dollar at a time
Hand it out penny by penny by penny by penny by penny

Now I'm staring at the steeple
I'm staring at the steeple
I wonder who's preaching

They say it's two women in there
They say one wears a robe, one wears a crystal
One keeps time and the other keeps a pistol

If I can't help you nobody can
If you can't talk to me who can you turn to?
If you don't make up your mind I'm going to make it up for you
The days are getting darker and I'm all alone
We're practically married, no but you're never at home

I'm staring at the steeple
I'm staring at the steeple
I wonder who's preaching

They say it's two women in there
They say one wears a robe, one wears a crystal
One keeps time and the other keeps a pistol
