Shame

Blacktop Musical




Shame is a face that I've tried to erase

For the last seven miles

The highway has tried to keep pace

With my rubber band cage

And my nightlife exchange

It's the thrill of the chase



And I open the door

And the house, still asleep

Without me...



Trip up the stairs

Quiet footsteps prepare

For the already open door

I move like a cat

Without light, I adapt

Like I've done so many times before



And my wife, still asleep

Without me...












I think I overestimated the ease of life without that constant glint. I knew the glamor would wear off eventually, I guess I just hoped there would be more substance remaining beneath and this consolation of masses doesn't do me any good come dawn. That is to say, I miss you. Just like I knew I would.












Waiting for the Fix

Blacktop Musical




She was just a girl from the mitten.

And I was chasing pills with power chords.

She learned every word to every song I ever wrote

but I was too fucked up to give it any thought.



She was much too young to waste her time believing songs.

But she insisted that she join us on the tour.

I told her every girl left disappointed in the end.

I might have laughed when she said

She could love me more.



Sign my name in dirt and let the rain come.

Gravel, gravel road take me home.



We lived off fast food and faster liquor.

We made love in abandoned parking lots.

She made her way into every song that I would write

And I got into bigger bars and bigger shots.

She mouthed the words when I forgot the lyrics.

Tried to wrestle my corruptions to the floor.

There were other venues, other towns and other women

And I wondered if they could love me more.



She got off the bus in New York City.

And I got off the pills in Albany.

When we got off each other I spent six months in Vancouver,

And the band moved on to Calgary

Without me.



I'm still holding onto song-believers.

I'm still holding onto Michigan.

Sign my name in dirt and let the rain come.

Gravel, gravel road take me home.
