i stood on the corner all my life
and never got lost
and everything in the drugstore
i knew what it cost
the pizza parlor
behind my back
the echoes
from the railroad track
the endless movies
in my head
the roads down which
they never led
the distant highway
with its phantom trucks
the silver rolls royces
and the big bucks
everybody's dreams
or only mine?
the flicker of a match
or endless time?
i want to jump in the river of darkness
and wash my life away
let that shiny moon rise over my grave
and let them never find me the next day
