|
We passed eight hundred miles |
|
Talking circles about living with loss |
|
You said your sense of humor's |
|
Always helped you get above and across |
|
Every hurdle, every chasm |
|
Every shocking and unspeakable blow |
|
Just proves the universe is chaos |
|
So you laugh to clear the lump from your throat |
|
But if you're fixed on being bitter |
|
Go be bitter on your own |
|
We're still two hours from |
|
El PasoArizona's such a long way to go |
|
The chemicals were coursing through |
|
Our bloodstreams at incongruous rates |
|
I was time traveling inward |
|
Through a past life |
|
I can never erase |
|
You were hanging out the window |
|
You said, "We're just a beggar's banquet in space" |
|
You were laughing at the moon |
|
You were cursing it for wearing your face |
|
Me and New |
|
Mexico are orphans |
|
Or is it bastards? |
|
Either way |
|
I think I know a guy in |
|
RoswellWe'll hitch a moon ride, steal you back your face |
|
You sleep and whistle ' |
|
Blackbird' backwards |
|
While my eyes cut her name in clay |
|
You wake to |
|
Mesa, Arizona |
|
Say, "Let it go, she'll change her mind someday" |
|
You took the wheel in |
|
Mesa, Arizona"I got the rest, manYou can drift away" |
