i've been wondering what you meant when you asked do you have a light? i've been wondering where you went when you left that party that night cloud blood smudge smeared on the sky its dawns roadkill i've been driving since midnight and i'm driving still stop on the top of the ridge just to feel the wind on my rand mcnally then i feel the air grow cold as i drift in to the first blue of the valley and you're wondering how far down you are on my call back list but you don't realize everytime i find i'm by a phone the landscape shifts every other song someones trying to write angels into the world every grace every ace every near miss every decent kiss by a pretty girl she was an angel she looked like an angel and all of the angels did sing and the angels were watching and the angels were listening and the angels were on hand to stand in for everything you can call it magic when a man pulls a rabbit out of a hat but the reason i don't call is cuz i wonder if there isnt a better word than that and you can call me crazy but i think you're as lazy as white paint on the wall and i know you'll only speak to me in dial tones if i call its been way too long since i've been behind the wheel headlights guiding me right through the dark i feel dry eyed, trying to resist sleeps first kiss everytime i have time to think i think of this da da da da da da da da da
