Lyrics
0:11Dreaming again of a train track ending at the edge of the sea
0:16Big black cloud was low and rolling our way
0:22Dog at the barbed wire barking at my buzz-cut friends
0:28Friend with a switch blade shining in the summer rain
0:30No one on the corner had a quarter for the telephone
0:33Everybody *****ing there's nothing on the radio
0:37Dreaming again of a city full of fathers and their white clothes
0:41Chattering boys and a chicken at the chopping block
0:43All of us lost at the crosswalk waiting for the other to go
0:46Didn't find the field but boy you're really waterlogged
0:48Someone bet a dollar that their daddy wasn't coming home
0:54Everybody *****ing there's nothing on the radio
1:31Dreaming again that it's freezing and my mother's in a flower bed
1:34Long dead rows of daffodils and marigolds
1:35Changing her face like a shadow on the ground
1:37This is what
1:40No one lives forever and the devil never sleeps alone
1:47Everybody *****ing there's nothing on the radio
Dreaming again of a train track ending at the edge of the sea Big black cloud was low and rolling our way Dog at the barbed wire barking at my buzz-cut friends Friend with a switch blade shining in the summer rain No one on the corner had a quarter for the telephone Everybody *****ing there's nothing on the radio Dreaming again of a city full of fathers and their white clothes Chattering boys and a chicken at the chopping block All of us lost at the crosswalk waiting for the other to go Didn't find the field but boy you're really waterlogged Someone bet a dollar that their daddy wasn't coming home Everybody *****ing there's nothing on the radio Dreaming again that it's freezing and my mother's in a flower bed Long dead rows of daffodils and marigolds Changing her face like a shadow on the ground This is what No one lives forever and the devil never sleeps alone Everybody *****ing there's nothing on the radio
