And so I left when I was just a boy I swore I’d simply do it all over again And now up the hill with snow-bit blue-tipped fingers, blood from falling But I can’t go back there no more
In frozen poses, venues lined with pillows Atlas shouldered some silly blunder or other You ask for more than this But I don’t know what more than this is
Is it a motel? With a fashion magazine? In between towns I was thinking about my mother And I wished ill upon myself
Rachel don’t come around here no more I hear she’s living in Montana with her brother I wish her the best And I hope she can forget me
But the ghost that comes around is a dead-ringer for her I see her in my nightmares discussing modern literature With her hands around my neck
