from Thresholds (2001 August 22) (3:36)
Vinyl siding falling down, ain’t no sunshine inside
Kiss my forehead when I drown, got a guitar for a bride
Self adhesive, buttoned up, slash all four of your tires
Pour my ash in plastic cups after you douse my fires
Under heels of lion men sitting outside in the moonlight
Wake me up but only when there’s purple on the stoplight
Stains and napkins, paper bags fluorescent at the depot
Interstates that call your name perishing in the haloes
No way back, scribbling on time
Evasive, scribbling on time
Scribbling on time, scribbling on time
Kiss my forehead when I drown, got a guitar for a bride
Self adhesive, buttoned up, slash all four of your tires
Pour my ash in plastic cups after you douse my fires
Under heels of lion men sitting outside in the moonlight
Wake me up but only when there’s purple on the stoplight
Stains and napkins, paper bags fluorescent at the depot
Interstates that call your name perishing in the haloes
No way back, scribbling on time
Evasive, scribbling on time
Scribbling on time, scribbling on time
never performed live
