lyrics

I came to town wearing mountain roads
I came to town throwing knives
I brought my dreams tied in little bows
Tied to a tattered, battered kite

Down on the curb we talked of mountain roads
We drank a backpack full of wine
You said you’d lost the pair of wings I stowed
With you when I left town last time

We've got to go to the shore
We've got to see the river lights
You know I don’t live here any more
You know I’m only here tonight

Over the fence, after the railroad tracks
Hannah’s hot-air-balloons go by
Over this burning breeze of broken glass
High in a starless, scarlet sky

She always dances with her hair down
Laughs with her eyes like open wounds
She has to kiss so many, many mouths
Her belly’s full of empty tombs
