lyrics

Parking lots go to sleep, head lights aren't part of this dream.
Oversized sad glass apartments,
walk round' with their glove compartments.
I'm swimming down all the streets
where the shark and the bus mall will meet.
Last time my eyes came around they just played dead.
Hid on their raft, took my life and just laid there.

Shutters closed, ride out the hoarse cold.
Shut out all the lights, don't I trust my eyes.

Its been so long since I've seen crystallized whites on the trees.
Dirt and salt cover the pavement. Soak up the governments payment.
I'm just to scared to go sleep where my eyes and sidewalk will meet.
Last time you came around i just played dead.
Ripped out my hair, had a drink and just stayed dead.

Hands will hold wrists.
The dogs we will miss.
I picked up a rock
cause I thought it was the earth.
And I threw it so far that I forgot where I were.
If I were a rat, I would rule the rocks.
