Well the final wakes a rooster up and seize her in the sky (???)
And a ghost can only say hello by kissing you goodbye
And a call came in without a ring and a word was never spoke
They're laughing on the other line like someone heard that someone told a joke
Well it's the kind of night to make you crazy as a corn
Just about the time you died and just as you were born
Well the streets are hot and full of rage and everyone's on drugs
I must be outta my head, I must have lost a lot of blood
I must have lost a lot of blood
Well the lightning strikes a heavy post(?)
Smoke dressed up in diamond clothes
A clock so stiff it can't unwind
Lord knows what's on the Devil's mind
There ain't no back then, no down the line
There's nothing more to this grand design
I'm blinded by the camera's flash and captured waves that never crash
Never crash
I must have lost a lot of blood
Why do I feel like I could not be closer as slowly I drift further away?
Why does it feel like I'm at the beginning when everyone calls it a day?
I wash my clothes in turpentine and shave on Christmas Eve
And I'm learning how to not exist 'cause that's what I, that's what I believe
I must have lost a lot of blood
Well a dollar in the bottle breaks and the rain is at my door
But the cops they are about as good as pennies on the floor
Well I haven't been home since I was a kid
What have I done whatever I did
I'll be the sun that shines from afar where nobody knows, nobody knows who you are
Nobody knows, nobody knows who you are
And a ghost can only say hello by kissing you goodbye
And a call came in without a ring and a word was never spoke
