lyrics

She took my hand, it wavered like a compass.
I'd gotten used to feeling in control.
My hesitation aside, we danced like bright red dervishes protesting the war
And the cynic inside me wondered what the fighting was for.

Michael David, Tempe, AZ.
A Rolling Rock, like Elvis on gray screen:
You cross the gap between the dock and steerage never worried about your health
And I wonder if I'll ever find that freedom inside of myself.
I feel like even when the phone stops ringing, pigs be breathin' down my neck.
And when Caullie comes a callin' best believe that he's callin' collect.

No one even noticed when I snuck aboard that black and yellow train
they sneak into the station, when they think that no one's looking.
Everything is possible, the world is just a fraction,
I get a certain satisfaction, out of being held responsible.
Someone's pushing buttons in my head.
Someone's taking candy from my baby.

One eye open, you barely let the light in.
A screaming fight, the average Lincoln scene.
I took a bottle cap down to the Liquor store, where everybody there was dressed like The Who
and they turned around, staring, rubberneckin' at me and at you.
I feel like even when the phone stops ringin' pricks be stickin' in my back,
And you wonder why I shudder when you tell me to breathe and relax.
