lyrics

Last night Chicago got the best of my mind
I was dodging and reeling like a boxer
Putting out the fires I never even started
For about as long as I remember

Acetylene torches boxes of washers
Tools outlined in marker

Smell of Old Spice and Irish Spring
A hint of gasoline on my father
Widening chasm between what I am
And the person I might have become

Translucent snake skins hanging from the rafters
Wondering what remains

Laying in that field flat on our backs
Imagining dinosaurs roaming all around

Last night my lover got the worst part of me
No one really knows what hides inside
Standing on the rooftop soaking in moon glow
I’ve been growing colder for decades

Secret weight of stones hidden in my pocket
Smooth enticing and quiet
God I love quiet
