Lyrics

[00:11.71] Dreaming again of a train track ending at the edge of the sea
[00:16.74] Big black cloud was low and rolling our way
[00:22.65] Dog at the barbed wire barking at my buzz-cut friends
[00:28.84] Friend with a switch blade shining in the summer rain
[00:30.97] No one on the corner had a quarter for the telephone
[00:33.20] Everybody bitching there's nothing on the radio
[00:37.55] Dreaming again of a city full of fathers and their white clothes
[00:41.66] Chattering boys and a chicken at the chopping block
[00:43.27] All of us lost at the crosswalk waiting for the other to go
[00:46.75] Didn't find the field but boy you're really waterlogged
[00:48.55] Someone bet a dollar that their daddy wasn't coming home
[00:54.54] Everybody bitching there's nothing on the radio
[01:31.95] Dreaming again that it's freezing and my mother's in a flower bed
[01:34.57] Long dead rows of daffodils and marigolds
[01:35.88] Changing her face like a shadow on the ground
[01:37.75] This is what
[01:40.76] No one lives forever and the devil never sleeps alone
[01:47.57] Everybody bitching there's nothing on the radio
