lilac roadkill blues

yeah the road it opened up to him
and swallowed half his
mind to take the test
on behalf of all the rest
and he just went on living, living
like a fool

and the songs they hollowed out
they left him high and dry
like all the rest
to take the test
of whether he could find, find
a better sky

so he left and took his clouds
and his old forgotten shoes from
last september
remember
you gave him half a flower
just because

and he got back in for curfew
just in time for one more drink
remember
last september
back then he didn't think
