lyrics

Sun trailed off and the bugs flew south.
Foster tried flying but the kite broke off.
Angie was popping yellows singing Grifters songs.
The car was getting rusty, the city stillborn.
Someone yelled “freeze” and the rain burned the snow.
Against the grain runners walked with sand paper toes.
Make that sandpaper singers and make it to go.
Make that sandpaper fingers and make it to go.

Red haired tongue took to rope and swung low.
Betty brought vodka to the set up ice show.
Someone’s always pining for someone’s wife.
Someone’s always pining for someone’s wife.
The officer said the house was all, all locked up.
From the inside came screaming that we couldn’t let out.
Helicopters circling overhead overheard.
Helicopters circling overhead overheard.

It’s never our time so let’s begin.
