lyrics

afterwards alone

dog day afternoons
lying on our backs in the middle of your bedroom
the heat outside was overwhelming
watching the slow progress of a spider on the ceiling

felt like the world was asleep
sedated and shuffling and meek
funerary silence, this whole town was a furnace
and everybody in it a mourner at a service

pale white pill
underneath your tongue
caught in the chemistry
radio song
down in the valley
we watched the lights flicker on
and the earth fell away for a moment
and then you and i were gone

early crescent moon
scything through the blue to harvest what’s left of our youth
watching impatient on the skyline
as we kicked around
anticipating night-time

drove past the vacant bus depot
the quiet judgement of the silent church steeple
we judged everybody right back
couldn’t wait to put the miles between us and all you people

afterwards, alone
some changes can’t be measured
insects nudge the lampshade
and the earth has loosed its tethers
