summer storms in late july, purple clouds in orange skies, grab your things, it's time to go. boys outside catching fireflies, girls inside dreaming up new lies, tell me something i don't know. green lights to the one way signs, promises of better times, hit the gas, start the show.

Interstate

midnight on the interstate, running late for a blind date. glowing billboards sell advice, half the value, twice the price. radio fades in and out. nina whispers, limbaugh shouts. plastic buddha on the dash tells me i don't stand a chance. how'd we get from here to there? were we ever anywhere? if i called, you'd be asleep, not alone, not with me. traffic's getting kinda slow, cigarettes running low. running late for a blind date, mourning on the interstate. my mind is playing tricks again, writing letters i won't send, watching phones that won't ring, singing songs i can't sing.

little girls are learning how gravity's disturbing the patterns in the sky, the roadmaps of the night. clever misdirections from hidden imperfections buy a little time to try to get it right. eyes fixed on the ceiling, stubbornly believing you could touch that star if you could reach that far, you're choking on the space dust of light years in between us and half-remembered dreams. no one hears your screams. you could touch that star if you could reach that far. you can't reach that far.

time to play, pick your side. which team wants you more tonight? fake him out nice and slow, so he won't know where you'll go. you can never be yourself when you're with someone else. it's just me who you can pull you out from underneath. trust me, just me. all the others fade away, lost in dusky clouds of grey. all the lovers fade away, formless shadows of formless days. i'll swallow you nice and slow, keep you under my control. kiss me, i'll teach you what you believe.

at midnight she came running across the street, jumped through the window into the passenger seat. she gave me a kiss and kicked up her bare feet. she said: "it's such a pleasure to finally meet." i didn't quite know how to feel; it all happened so fast, it seemed kinda unreal. she laid tiny fingers over my mouth. she said: "don't worry about a thing. just make it count."

Hungry Ghosts

the shadows here in the night could hide our self-serving lies. the candles the only light, they glitter in your soft eyes. i knew you'd be swinging at me, but you can't hit what you can't see. there's no truth, there's no substance, just an echo of me. i see them, tiny and white. they're sighing their lonely sighs, the hungry ghosts in your eyes.

i know how the story goes, i seen it on tv. one's got something the other can't quite believe, and you, you'll never be satisfied. and you're never playing fair, you're never doing what you should. took your torch to every little thing you could, and now you want to burn down the tiny little house i built. now you think you'll take your sword, bury it to the hilt. sand in the hourglass is dripping down like blood, still i stand here watching, saying i've seen enough. but you, you'll never be satisfied. so it's time to kill the shadow, the truth will out tonight. don't forget to call and tell me what you decide.
