I dunno what brings you 'round again
+
I dunno what sends you on your way again, 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
+
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 inbetween
+
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 fireworks of bad ideas: you will and I won't
+
light the sky with long-gone hate that comes from where it's automatic
+
caught inbetween
+
