I dunno what brings you 'round again
I dunno what sends you on your way again, it's not for me to say
there's a bright light right around the bend
see it bathe us both in that fluorescent glow, so monstrous and final
ย
I could see you through the dirty waves
ย
smiling like a vampire as you disappeared beneath the whitecaps
but a man can't live for what he saves
ย
I could feel my toes curl through the yellow sand as I watched you slip away
Once again the politics of common sense: you do and I don't
I could tell you it's not true but what's the use, it's automatic
caught inbetween
ย
was a star that once burned crazy red
an ashen globe that spins with dead momentum lost in absolute space
even as this wavelength pulses dread
ย
linger like the cold burn of electric shocks, so slow to fade away
Once again the fireworks of bad ideas: you will and I won't
light the sky with long-gone hate that comes from where it's automatic
caught inbetween
