lyrics

Friday Cane

I can wait, I can wait,,
I can wait a long time
I can wait, I can wait,
I can wait alone.
I can wait, I can wait,
I can wait a long time, now
For you to come home

She’s the jewel that forms from compacted cars
Warmed by the heat of distant stars,
and cured on the roof with a rented sun,
sold in a deal that involves a gun.

There goes my only prayer
She’s packed her things, she’s walking down the spiral stairs
There goes my only prayer
Stepping out in the cold spring air

While the stylites light up the night, shooting stars and satellites
And a coal mine in her eyes.

I can wait, I can wait,,
I can wait a long time
I can wait, I can wait,
I can wait alone.

It’s down to this, it’s down to this-
I don’t need this final reptile kiss
Time to peel off another layer

Crows on the roof of a gypsum plant
There goes my only prayer
She’s driving by in an old Trabant
Windows open in the cold spring air

So click me a coin from your Friday Cane
There goes my only prayer
I came down like a stack of bricks,
A red cloud in the cold spring air
