lyrics

It was a San Fransisco night
after a Montreal day
stepping over buried ships
under the bay

Scene after scene everything dies
and you will too
black crows out on the lawn
they'll murder it for you
lie after lie everyone sinks
below what's true

There are tips
then there's tipped over
tripping over wires
in a wireless world
running like a devil
chasing his deception
while the flags unfurled
Won't you come here?
wrap my heart
pour me out
and watch you drink
tonight we're swimming
in the whites of my eyes
throw me in the deep end
and watch me sink
your red curtains
descend tonight
ask me if it's over
well let me think
deep dive into the blue
drowning in the depth of the stars
everybody on the slide
slipping down the slope
well I live within these bars

It was a San Fransisco night
after a Montreal day
stepping over buried ships
under the bay

Time after time we're reminded
life's not fair
the electricity is out
from the Tenderloin to outter Richmond
the trees don't care
there's a smell of an opium den
from I don't know where

there's breaks
then there's breaking apart
unbound to a beatin' heart
Halloween season caws like a crow
fall flapping just like a flag
jet's humming
killer willies drinking up a stag
the distance
the closeness
the graffiti at my back
living between the raindrops
you know I got the knack
the land of opportunity where
nobody gets paid
America the beautiful but afraid
