lyrics

When it's night
and I'm out
and I'm figuring myself out
I gotta wonder
What it is the enemy is doing
at this hour

And in the yawning artist hours,
get the onward! Darkest Tower
Melt thy heart to feed The River

Walk to a run to a sprint to the 35 Bridge
up, over the edge, to the Mississippi bed
And then my dream ends
With my ghost downstream,
skipping stones with my demons
And when I wake
I wish I didn't wake
A fish in the firmament
racing dawn to break

Old Coyote, so cold and lonely -
drawing heat up, out of the earth to warm its journey
And under my skin, there goes a rolling fire,
licking up the spotted back of the earth
chasing all life to the ocean
making hands act, off running for my Prozac

Old Coyote, so cold and lonely -
drawing heat up through its Heart-of-Hearts
'cause damn it, sole is holy!
And the blazing line of dawn
burns my sorry station
with an unmatched fury

When it's night
and I'm out
and I'm figuring myself out
I slip back into bad habits like a childhood glove I don and don again
'til dawn and on again
That sick pit in the stomach
where the lows are so low they feel like a summit
and I'm too weak to climb it

I'll report back to the brink someday,
but for now I think I'll just
stay a little while and drink in my sorrow
thinking of new ways I can sink tomorrow
And maybe, just maybe, I've had enough
of this thing called life
Or maybe, just maybe, I'm taking off
It just hurts so much

Walk to a run to a sprint to the 35 Bridge
up, over the edge, to the Mississippi bed
And then my dream ends
With my ghost downstream,
skipping stones with my demons
And when I wake
I wish I didn't wake
A fish in the firmament
racing dawn to break
