Pan away from the backyard
Woke up in Texas next to a liquor store
Big letters IRONY tagged on the wall
She was named for another flat land
We had a strong back then
To damn afraid of the queen trying
With the nurture that she gave me made
That handled this the way the manual suggests
(the way the manual suggests)
She turned me on to music that
She told me stories from a cup
And I don't know what hurt it more
Scarring up the dirty floor
Found a hollow hole in the
It's like I follow anywhere
Took a stroll with a feline
And sat silent while the snow
flakes fell into the design
Been there done that what do
you think it's locked for?
I've lost more to my traveling soul
Then I care to talk about so I'll
be out I'll be on the road
Down, down, down in Gainesville
Coletrane, and pain pills
Sometimes the ceiling is to easy to stare at
But it keeps me from a forest full
of snare taps and bear traps
And it ain't complete without
I can tell she don't want me as is
Time to climb back into the van
I had to add one more story
Already interwoven through
Ex- lover and a best friend
Best lover and an ex- friend hoping
Sentimentalism and the rhythm
She stays to wait for a replay
While I wonder if I'll be able to
Chicago inside of an empty bottle
There's a thin line between
There's a house over there
Tie a knot in the stomach
And make sure them demons
Pray for you and yours and
whoever you believe in more
Sitting in the rain at some sidewalk cafe
Half of her wet cigarette in the ash tray
Just trying to find a lost soul to save
And I'm a lost soul trying to find
Keep faith in my suitcase
I love this fucking country
So I waited till she slept then I stepped into traffic
