'95: a serious mistake

Singer:magnetic fields, the

although we know that someone's heart will break

hey jake

let's make a serious mistake

and while we smile

look forward to heartache

let's undertake a serious mistake

which one of us will it be

to end this tale of misery?

when will this comedy turn sour?

a year

a month

a week

an hour?

all we can be sure of is it will

all good things come to bad ends

but still

although we know that someone's heart will break

hey jake

let's make a serious mistake

and while we smile

look forward to heartache

let's undertake a serious mistake

although we know that someone's heart will break

hey jake

let's make a serious mistake

and while we smile

look forward to heartache

let's undertake a serious mistake
