lyrics

Starving for a note until I was almost twenty-two.
Exalted. I lived in my own head.
A metronome on the top of a tuneless baby grand.
There's no time left.
There hasn't been for years.
It's not for an absence of warning,
it's just so hard to hear with the
Windows down.
"Gloria" and "The Deep South".
"Red Letter Day" and "Morning New Disease"
Insatiable and deafening.
Dangerous and beautifully naive.
Dammit, if it ain't the best I've seen.

We were restless and young,
compelled to feel, lest we ignore.
When you close your eyes,
there's no point of reference,
and you just drift farther from shore.
So convinced our ideas wouldn't falter
we let them all fail us, one piece at a time.
This must be the march we all step to,
but every so often, you just have to drive with the
Windows down.
"Gloria" and "The Deep South".
"Red Letter Day" and "Morning New Disease"
Insatiable and deafening.
Dangerous and beautifully naive.
Dammit, if it ain't the best I've seen.

It's the texture of brick or drying cement
the honeysuckle air.
Exhaust and sentiment.
School bus leather.
Back seat radio
Back porch moments.
Highway screams.

It means everything to me.

With the windows down.
"Red Letter Day" and "Morning New Disease"
Insatiable and deafening.
Dangerous and beautifully naive.
Dammit, if it ain't the best I've seen.
