last night, i fell
ask why and i won't tell
i make no sound
spilled upon such storied ground
this pin-striped man
with his thin light hand
was asking me to dance
i took a breath and i took the chance
a wrong turn, another
someone's thinking of her
this night's not for lovers
it's for slips and others
good friends, questions
the singer not the song
i don't play fair, i just play along
i see better parts of me
but you saw them first, take heed
this leaking pen, this shattered lens
is a sign you've seen the worst in me
the better driver, the bigger fool
you saw more then what the rain
washed off, i knew
what you brought as an afterthought
means our hands can't bear the weight
of a cough
i saw different
lines carved in cement
names on graves and
barn doors and last stands
brothers with no others
to make this life a home
with furrowed brows they spit and moan
too tired to sit we heard a call to arms
up on the highway strip
and through the blinds, they could see,
but it hurt to look
i don't run for trains, i'm too ashamed of
the faces as the doors shut
i'm sad and mad and shook
i see better parts of me
but you saw them first, take heed
these 10-cent actions
are a sign there's nothing left to see
the better driver, the bigger fool
i saw more than what the drinks
washed off, i knew
what you brought as an afterthought
would stain our hands after the rain
had stopped
you say i sleep
but not then, oh don't you see
never tired, a bad liar
i won't take the wheel this night
my map, this path
if you would please cut the lights
what a great summer night
