lyrics

i was thinking some kind of change was overdue. i sent a letter to another city, then went for coffee where my sister waited tables, and i sat and read the magazine, and i dreamed about somehow getting out. the gravel road it's down in some backwater town.

suddenly beneath the canopy, and wait until you finish serving drinks. it's a long walk, i'm feeling so exposed. but nothing's better than moonlight. i met you down at the end of the boulevard. we walked on the cliff, leaned into the wind, but i was a little kid and i didn't know the code.

where are those hickory sticks? i think, man, any way you figure it i'm going to step across. and if you follow me into the trees, i'll get you the money or i'll let you press rewind. you've been unkind and hidden behind the enemy lines.

(i can't hang out with anyone without wishing i was somebody else. later when i'm walking home i think i see you driving it out in the night.
what is it like in the dark of the cockpit? do you smoke cigarettes? tell me about what ails you and i'll keep an eye on the thermostat
take the next exit. this place looks open. we need something to pass the time. feed me the soul of every vacant lot. are those your red eyes in the crowd?)

-i'm a damn good liar-

suddenly we're up the stairs and i say, 'that's a lot of books.' then we're in the bedroom. it's a long walk, i'm feeling so exposed. but nothing's better than moonlight. i shot you down from over the boulevard. got back on my bike, rode into the night, out under the streetlamp light. but i barely even tried, so now i'm losing it. tripping in the dark. don't know how to start taking somebody's brain apart, if that's even in the cards.
