lyrics

I go dragging my feet along cobblestones
Left you on the other side of the road
And regretted it by the time I made it home

You stay unresponsive in a comatose way
Harder to reach than a Mount Everest peak
Nothing short of torture could get you to speak

But it’s futile counting the stars in the firmament
Getting mixed signals from the satellites hovering

When you say my name with a Mona Lisa smile
Like you’re on display before the Francophiles
And I just don’t know why but it always goes awry

Down deep, all that’s left of Eden is debris
Paradise sounds like hell to me
When nothing can go wrong I cannot get to sleep

But you sleep, boarded up and closed off
Quarantined with gold and stocks of Microsoft
Not even the jaws of life could get you to open up

But I won’t ask for clemency
I’ll cop whatever comes to me

Because I’m a denizen ignoring Federal law
You’re a nomad, bound; to us nowhere feels like home
And I still don’t know why but it always goes awry

Soldiers pray and piss their pants before they go over the hill
But if the action doesn’t kill you the inertia will

And when you’re far away I want to be with you
But it seems that when you’re near I wish you’d disappear
And I will never know why but it always goes awry

Through the red lights I keep driving
Passed telegraph poles, suburban houses
Had enough fuel in the tank to start a war
Had enough fuel in the tank to start a war
