lyrics

A crowded mind at the county line
As the highway howled me to sleep
Force-fed fever dreams of old kitchen scenes
Through broken teeth

And the calloused moon
She just hangs and blooms
Leaving nothing left lit out on Broadway
To keep

Hey, but listen man, I got plan
Get us out of here real clean

Oh my dearest friends I've returned again
To the lonely in-between
And with thicker hide
The terrible tide splits the seams

I could never prove
I did it all for you
But I once believed that a shouldered sea
Was worth fighting to be free

Keep that front porch light a-shining bright
Lord that's all I'll ever need

You said in another life
You'd have made things right
But now body begs reprieve
And all the folks you'd known and homes you're shown
Lovingly leave

Man, but I was there
And goddamn your prayers
I'll get it back down at Cadillac
Just give me time to grieve

With all the souls to know, a heart might grow
Still ain't room for memory

I still see you there
In your wingback chair
As I thumb through reverie
They say the days'll pass just like shattered glass
Or scattered leaves

But it will not stand
In this promised land
So put down that rock, unchain your flock
Let's show them what bleeding means

If to tolling time we must resign
Then from time we'll take as thieves

So from the waving wheat
To the signing street
Go on, ring that ragged bell
And to all the lost, who still pay their cost for holding hell

I know rest will come
We'll all stand in the sun
Oh but all I ask, help me rig this mast
I've seen a storm upon the swell

Just a thimble full of mercy
At the Cadillac Motel
