lyrics

bag on the doorstep
blown from he southwest
drunks curse careless
my broken canopy silence
rag doll burial
covered in oil
angels staring
i read the obituary
listen for footsteps
your swishing black fishnets
i traced patterns on your back
while you slept tot he left
pumpkins sold for carving
painted signs are so charming
i see the fast food lights
my mountain of hope arrives

chorus
small town blues
read city news
stay with me forgotten
nothing matters in a town with no shadow
walking out of stride
wasting my time

i cast you in a well
grabbed your hand and fell
bottles on the sidewalk
let our damp jackets dry off
smirking billboard lawyers
my awful paranoia
stand in a hospital frozen
paths already chosen
i’m so sorry
it’s my life story
your face upside down
as the slamming door sounds
understand this face
is just a passing phase
or a lovers phrase
unspoken today
