lyrics

It started in the evening, on a cold September morning
The city lights were shining down on my bed
I was cold and I was lonely, not a penny in my pocket
You bet your bottom dollar no one cared about me

I’m starting a fire to warm my old bones
Setting the matches in the fire light
The flames reflected in the mouning faces
In the corners and the shadows
On the edges of my mind

I drove into Washington slower than a watershed
Easy on the diesel, easing down the road
I swear to you my old and tired friend
There won’t be any going back for you and me this time

‘Cause, I’m starting a fire to warm my old bones
Setting the matches in the fire light
The flames reflected in the mouning faces
In the corners and the shadows
On the edges of my mind

This is the last time, I won’t remember you
No more friendly faces, no more candy canes
No more longing for the morning never coming
No use in praying for me, no use in praying for you

And, it’s long past time and we’re moving on the city edges
Closing on suburbia and the urban myth we once knew
I can’t describe the feeling that someone’s gotta pay
For the endless isolation, stars and moon, and Hollywood

Chorus

And, soon, with a short sharp jolt
Blue will be black, and laid low we’re coming home as heroes
