So I'm goin' down this street and I'm tryin' not to smile 'Cause the street is where I'm goin' And the curb is at the side By the sewer where the rain goes down
Like this girl I once knew 'Cause the sewer is so hollow and the yell could last forever
Like the night my girl went away Gone off in a world filled with stuff Lights start changin' And there's wires in the air And the asphalt man, is all around me
And I look down and my shoes are so far away from me, man I can't believe it
I got a real indication of a laugh comin' on
That old wind is howling like a cold steel train Girl has left me Not comin' back again
Got rusted bullet holes in the Dodge And a heartburn like a solar flare The grass by the house is dry, man
And a horsefly buzzes by the big mistake In the distance, man, I see myself start to smile
