Lyrics
ill paint your name on an overpass tonight
and on my arm ive been saving up to stitch it in blue
oh i feel so well suited to hang around your lap
make you forget your bills with all that ive got
shes stacking up wine , behind her eyes, and the moon tips
ive been her crawling crazy jesuit
i found a cherry picker up to the power line
let the hail come down if it pleases
im an army on leave...im an army on leave
well...one day far away
when they stand on the hill amazed at
the ghost of an airport and the airports shiney planes
if they dig me up , my every bone is marked
with you like a car wreck, you like a bomb
heres your time, baby heres your attention
heres the boots jumping over the rain that falls in the ditches
im the man on the levee that sings for change, if she wants it sung
she gives her face to my hands and im wishless
well...one day far away
when they stand on the hill amazed at
the ghost of an airport and the airports shiney planes
if they dig me up , my every bone is marked
with you like a car wreck, you like a bomb
