Wrap your arms around me. And hold me close to your light. I'm too weak for flying tonight. I've been running all nighttime. Trying to hide from the hounds.
Radio waves are coming miles and miles. Bringing only empty boats. Whatever feeling they had when they sailed. Somehow slipped out between the notes. .
There are planets you don't know. And there are moons that you don't see. Invisibles between the rings of Mars and Mercury. The harbors that they built for the ships to set me free.
Me and Jiggs staring at the ceiling the stars above the radar range. Song from a station wagon laying foundations on the shadows of overpassing planes.
What's it take to make the dime drop?. All of these kids who think they're quick on the draw. Always shooting at outlaws I'm busy keeping my Colt cocked.
Don't stand so close to me. Don't be another tragedy. I've burned everybody who had a hand to lend. . A man burning at both ends. No one put me in this hell.
