lyrics

The cops pull over the drunken kids
Who hide their empty bottles in cookie bins
The jail’s filled up, the school burnt down
There’s no phantom pain like a dead hometown
She said “why can’t you just understand?
One day I’ll use these legs to stand”
You’re like the withered hands on this rusted clock
I wouldn’t know time passed if you just stopped

Chorus:
Jesus christ if this rain don’t stop
I’m gonna drive my car to the mountaintop
Sit underneath that single tree
And just wish that you were there with me

It’s midnight at the drunken church
And the guards are on their pre-dusk search
To maim the doctor and blind the priest
To kill everyone that lives on this street
I’m gonna grow my hair out long this time
So that no one can look into my eyes
I want a trumpet at my death bedside
So I can play ‘till I go into that good light
Well I’m not your friend and I’m not your man
I’m the drop of water on the desert sands
Squint your eyes and your feelings change
But up close those feelings just fade away

Chorus
