Sleeping with the rain against
the windows of the car
Never felt better than this
Knowing in the morning
I’ll be somewhere far
Far away from here
I’ve lost so many things I can’t replace
I guess they’re things that I don’t need
But I’m still circling looking for a place
With a little less gravity
And I’ve never felt more connected to this town
And I’ve never felt more alone
You’re so sympathetic when you need me
And tomorrow I’ll be on my own
I’ve never felt more connected to this town
And I’ve never wanted more to leave
You all preach love on the weekend
But tomorrow you’ll be saying you hate me
Remember when I wrecked my car on Olive Way
I don’t have much to say about that
But I still think about it every time
I drive that freeway ramp
And I drove by my old house yesterday
They cut my lilacs down
The lawn was mowed so perfectly
White fence all around
And I’ve never felt more connected to this town
And I’ve never felt more alone
You’re so sympathetic when you need me
And tomorrow I’ll be on my own
I’ve never felt more connected to this town
And I’ve never wanted more to leave
You all preach love on the weekend
But tomorrow you’ll be saying you hate me
You all preach love on the weekend
I see you dancing near the gallows
banging on your tamburine
I think I lost my will to fight
oh if you know what I mean
ain't no diamonds in your pockets
ain't no rings on your fingers
I don't know what you're looking for
these days
I have no scarlet coat to wear
the blood and wine are in my hair
oh are you sorry now
somehow I doubt it
I'll sing and sing now if i can
I'll try and tell you who I am
but you don't want to understand
you'd rather dig my grave
so don't you dare to say you loved me
you don't know the way I was before
before this world was made
I have no scarlet coat to wear
the blood and wine are in my hair
oh are you sorry now
somehow I doubt it
you put feathers on your eyelashes
put your makeup on just right
spread your arms out towards the sky
told me to watch you fly
I told you I'll watch you fall
everything was alright
thought you'd make it through the day
until you pinned your eyelids shut
bought you braille books
said okay
I told you I'll watch you fall
centipedes are in your teeth
you left your snakeskin by the chair
must have been there for weeks
your eyes are yellow liver pale
I told you I'll watch you fall
kicking up dust on these city streets
I can't wait to leave
I can't wait to leave
you think the world is flat
you're gonna fall off the edge
and I'm just as shallow
as the grave I dug for you
you know it's true
you know it's true
and I promise that I'm fine
but I...
I want to be somewhere where nobody knows my name
