The Dockets - Town Days With Maria Lyrics

Ideals collapse in details, just kids with clipboards doing door-to-door sales
In board game basements back on this carousel, a bunch of burnouts but we laughed As we fell

Town Days with Maria, fireworks splash in her eyes
We crane our necks just to see them burst above the jagged jaw skyline

You look lovely, if Vicodin-numb, beneath the window, soak up the fractured sun
Venetian blinds where the light's leaking from
Float through lost weekends when you're young and in love

Hopping white picket fences, hugged our knees, jumped in the pool
Saved girls wear nothing but crosses
Sins unseen under the moon

Cling to each other, slow dancing close
On your blouse I find his cigarette smoke
Under the harvest moon, your cheeks red with cold
The signal's fading on the radio

I pray this song will keep playing-Lou Reed singing about your eyes
The winter winds are waiting
Storm windows rattle through the night

Sitcom reruns like novocaine, cackling laugh-tracks, two years turn into eight
Homecoming float made of papier-mâché careens down Main Street
My chest cavity caves

Now she's sinking her fingers into the wedding cake
Graced with a playful demeanor, she smears frosting on his face

So I drive, I just drive, getting lost beneath purple skies
So I drive, I just drive, getting lost beneath purple skies
So I drive, I just drive, getting lost beneath purple skies
Yeah, I drive
I just drive, getting lost beneath purple skies
