i'm gonna die here
on the front lawn
of your house while your dad loads the shotgun
only sixteen
barely a person
i am wasted on red wine and cough syrup
make me an angel that flies from the queen city bridge
in the fall of my sophomore year
i'm gonna die here
i'm a shadow now, man
but believe me
someday i'm gonna be something
watch me now
how the light moves through me
like the sun in a spill of gasoline
make me an angel that flies from the queen city bridge
in the fall of my sophomore year
i'm gonna die here

The Living Dead
03:10

in the avenues of your old hometown
the dead will speak again
i promise you this: on your walk to work
or from the empty windows of an old apartment
in your own clothes
in your television set
i promise you this: the dead will speak again
we are threaded on a string
stretched between twin magnetic poles
a pair of hydrogen bombs staring back at each other
from our bedroom windows
on every street corner
there is still that secret thing, burning
down here the dead don't grow their wings
and i'm dying to see you again
play it over again
i want to hear it like i did before
solid gold on the old car stereo
sweet as nectar
the world is unfamiliar
and the streets are wet with rain
i promise you this: the dead will speak again
