lyrics

I had a grief dream that I shot the president
Took a room at a motel and turned on the TV
My face grinned pale in that lonely screen not ready to admit I’d gone too far again

So I walked through town wearing broken shades like a junkie cavalier
Drank whisky soda with average monsters
I wasn’t careful, wasn’t kind, no body, no mind, just the logic of dub music in the night

All I needed was a memory of won bets, nights I never slept, waiting for the moon to set, thinking of you

There was a siren light on a limousine in America at a funeral starting to end
When I got to your apartment, those headlines were in your eyes as you said go now

Go now
Your dying mouth

So I steal Air Force One
To fly over gold
To steal the weight of the world
To land in the arms of sleep
A smile on the cusp of things
I’ve gone so far
I’ve come so far
I’ve gone so far
I’ve come so far
Without you
