lyrics

Out of the spaceship and into the grass
unlacing of boots while i sat on my ass
i searched through my pockets for a light and a smoke
i could see your reflection in notes that you wrote

Tipping the waitress for my steak and eggs
your hand on my knee to stop quivering legs
some wise men might say what I would like to know
you can tell by my face that I'd left long ago

wandering eyeballs and smooth golden hands
your face in the window surveying the land
you scoured your shelves for courage and gin
i could tell from your lock that i'd never get in

your teeth cut my lips while we sat in the field
i knew from your touch that my love would not yield
you saw in my fire a curse in the flames
i needed a cure 'fore it drove me insane

I cant see you
i cant hear you
but im near you
but im near you
