Lyrics

Dreamin' again of a train track ending at the edge of the sea Big black cloud was low and rolling our way Dog at the barbed wire barkin' at my buzz-cut friends Friend with a switch blade shinin' in the summer rain No one on the corner had a quarter for the telephone Everybody bitchin' there's nothing on the radio Dreamin' again of a city full of fathers and their white clothes Chatterin' boys and a chicken at the choppin' block All of us lost at the crosswalk waitin' for the other to go Didn't find the field but boy you're really waterlogged Someone bet a dollar that their daddy wasn't comin' home Everybody bitchin' there's nothing on the radio Dreamin' again that it's freezin' and my mother's in a flower bed Long dead rows of daffodils and marigolds Changin' her face like a shadow on the ground No one lives forever and the devil never sleeps alone Everybody bitchin' there's nothing on the radio
