I don't no what brings you 'round again

I don't no what sends you on your way
When smart
It's not for me to say
There's a bright light right around the bend

See it bathe us both in that fluorescent glow
So monstrous and final

So monstrous and final

I could see you through the dirty waves

Smiling like a vampire
As you disappeared beneath the whitecaps
But a man can't live for what he saves

I could feel my toes curl through the yellow
Sand as I watched you slip away

Once again the politics of common sense

You do and I don't

I could tell you it's not true but what's the use

It's automatic

Caught in between

Was a star that once burned crazy red

An ashen globe that spins with
Dead momentum lost in absolute space

Even as this wavelength pulses dread

Linger like the cold burn of electric shocks
So slow to fade away

Once again the fire works of bad ideas

You will and I won't

Light the sky with long-gone hate that
Comes from where it's automatic

Caught in between
