lyrics

With your last cigarette butt still smoldering in the ashtray
And those teenage girls splattering across the street
After pouring out of car windows and slithering down your veins
At the fine edge of doom you’re gazing at a dagger’s steel blade
As heartbeats trickle and drip, drip, drip from your fingertips
And Marlow’s boy toys all giggle and gargle and laugh in the bathtub tiles
How ‘bout we Drive……..
Drive, drive, drive
How ‘bout we Drive……..
Let’s drive to the edge of the world

She is cuddled up just like a cat on the stairs of your downtown flat
Hiding instruments of torture and fatigue still shining
As her blue-mouthed tongue flits and tickles at a puddles of verse not spoken
Her street urchin brother still moonlights in a deviant dress
And white-eyed forest boys coax wolf fangs and splinters
From the gooey-skinned poet who’s perished in broken light just rising
Chorus

You’ve been boarding up the windows lately to block out the light
But that wood you’ve been using has buckled and warped in the spring rain
And when you call out his name there’s no answer or even a cough just floating dust
Now winter’s around the corner and there’s a draft that’s been living in your bones
The coffee gets blacker and cigarettes burn up the day
And the silence stretches out and just ticks away round and round then it’s gone
Chorus
