Won’t you show me where, oh here, to walk
On a moonrock road I don’t know if I even belong on
Rattlesnakes around my sandaled feet
I’ve been worn out, and blown out in defeat
I know the place I want to get tonight
Filaments of tungsten burning bright
Tell me, baby, when you see the wash of wavelengths
Will you see my silhouette appear before you in the summer heat
This is how they sing when it’s the end
When they know the ship is sinking and there’s no sign of land
Sing like it’s the last song of the night
Like the thing you always thought was wrong was right
Fashion me a curtain of batiste
Paint me in a painting of a feast
Find me, baby, under amphitheater floodlights
In a flowing robe of hollyhock, after all the whispering has ceased
Can’t you tell me where, oh where, to roam
On this lonely road I don’t know if I even belong on
Isn’t there still something we can try?
There’s no way we’ve let our lives just pass us by
Copperheads are nibbling at our toes
Rotten fruit’s the only fruit that grows
Burn me, baby, on a stake of indecision
And until that last collision, I will be the only one who knows
