lyrics

I lay entwined in ambulance light
While a train whistle blasts
And sinks into my chest
Great city by the lake,
With my neighbors in their graves
Move in and move out
I'm the cat and you the mouse
Our home must be somewhere else.

Safe in my smokescreen
On this spit-shine city streets
Your voice lifts baracades
On the silent night highway
Curiosity is comforting me
While the winning number is buried
At a station in Pennsylvania
A life we'll never see.

Eighty-eight, take a bullet and bite it 'til it breaks.
I'm saving your place.
Just take that bullet before it's too late.

Good morning green balloon.
Guided through the gloom.
Everything will pass.
That's the cadence of last change.
So drive a spike into the track
And cash your last paycheck
Then it's curtains on the pharmacy
"It never meant that much to me".
