Lyrics

I rode down to the tracks
Thinking they might sing to me
But they just stared back
Broken, trainless and black as night
Climbed out onto my roof
So I'd be a poet in the night
Beat the walls off my room
I saw the big room that is this life
This is my condition:
Naked and hysterical
Reaching to grab a hand
That I just slapped back at
This is my condition:
Desperate, alone
Without an excuse
I try to explain. christ, what's the use?
Read and I felt so small
Some words keep speaking
When you close the book
Drank and just about smiled
Then I remembered us in that bed
Put my ear to the door
I just heard hot rods
And gunshots and sirens
People kill me these days
There's keys in their eyes
But they lock from the inside
