Lyrics to Destroyer's "It Aint' Easy Baby"

[almostds]

Here's a video of the song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC7QBf17X8I

It's tough to make out what the words are, ---- any thoughts? Here's what I've got:

“It Ain’t Easy Baby” Lyrics

And with what
shall I fix
the hole in the bucket dear Liza?
With the _______ of the light deep in your eyes? ()

Should I have cancelled the play
With three showings a day,
It was shitty we couldn’t stay longer—
Beneath the bridge we kissed—
I was busy eating momma’s ribs before that ()

I walked into the room
I was made sick by the room
I painted a painting
known as a girl with her broom—
It’s figures all __________ ()
Nagasaki at night at war with the devil

It ain’t easy being a baby like you
And it ain’t easy being a baby like me.
It ain’t easy being a baby like you
It ain’t easy beaing a baby like me.

I think you're pretty close on much of it. A few notes/ideas:

"With a hundred diamonds of the light leaving your eyes, well..."
Not totally sure on this one, but I think it's something about diamonds.

"It's figures lit up"
Almost 100% sure on this one.

Also not sure on the last line of verse two.

Good song, though; I find myself listening to it on repeat on the ol' iPod.

Well I'll be damned that this crops up again 10 years on.

Oh my word, so it’s “foolssong”. Magnificent.

how do you know it's foolssong?
after seeing he played it again on a recent solo set i was trying to discern from Have We Met's setlist which one it might be, if it is one

I've just spent a lot of time squinting at the merch photos for the Merge pre-order where you can sorta see the lyric sheets. 
Also, surely we're all following the newly-minted official destroyer_band Instagram?  The lyrics for the new album have been getting posted there.  And I'm impressed (a feat, given Dan).

i didn't know such a page existed. after hearing the studio version of crimson tide, just doesn't happen and that this is the ender i am so pumped. definitely thought they had a similar vibe to my mystery as you said, too

I recognised the lyrics from the instagram! I remember listening to this back in the day and being disappointed it didn't show up on Kaputt.
