In this house
Believe your heart beats
Through the wild weeds
Through the old beats
Through the dark deeds
For a while
I sang pleasantly
Hurricane came
Choked the dry twang
Coated the stain
If the ceiling changes shape
Vaults itself to space
Who needs time
Let the stars keep time
Once more
Closing in
Droning mechanically
Turn off the fuse
Tighten the screws
The soles of your shoes
Pass the can slowly
Shaky hands
This is the hump
Eat the last clump
Rations will come
If I found a path out there
Dangerous but true
Would you follow me
Follow me to the river's end
Grab your coat Leave the keys
We will run far into the night
Past the mines and grinding gears
We will find solace in the dawn
Sleep in trees Touch the leaves
Moist and nourishing the touch
This is a fantasy
But I ask that you believe in me
