you ended up at the lake you forgot it was there you looked up at the sky and you breathed in the air then you looked down at the sand you coughed in your sleeve you were lost in it again it's hard to believe but you were already dead you had an arrow through your head on the day that the city fell on the day that the city fell you were a saint and you were a bastard you were a drunken horse and you were a hummingbird and all the urban garbage it blew through your mind as you watched big business crumble in the bloated face of time on the day that the city fell on the day that the city fell a blanket of fire on the skyline a manmade disaster in the smog you threw your suitcase into the water and fled to the country w/your guitar and a dog and it was all for a woman, a picture perfect woman man, she fit you like a glove you fell in love oh, love oh, love on the day that the city fell on the day that the city fell on the day that the city fell on the day that the city fell

I turned my back on the pearl stumbled blindly down some stairs I left my wallet and a book St. Peter gave me but I didn't even care I had to get out of that scene real quick everything was so bright and so clean, man, it made me sick I liked the cool air of the evening the way it felt against my spine I crossed the street to a liquor store to buy a bottle of wine then I carried it across the city to find my favorite girl lost in her sad eyes, drowning in a cannibal world chewin' on the city like a sick dog chewing a bone I built myself a country, I can build myself a home yeah, I was hunting' for love but loving I scorned so I turned to the deep blue water where nature was born lost between horizons on a dead log learning to float when she appeared beside me, said, "grab onto the side of my boat!" and now I'm chewin' on the city like a sick dog chewing a bone I built myself a country, I can build myself a home

The Obsequy 03:17
I bought some flowers for your grave I laid 'em down there in the snow they were dead by the time I left it was hard for me to go I walked back to the rental car your favorite song was on the radio so I sang it to your hometown stars sittin' there alone a bottle of water an empty Old Style can a cupholder full of change a pack of smokes in my hand as I sat there in the rental car your favorite song on the radio singin' to your hometown stars sittin' there alone the song was building to an end I pushed the little knob to the left and blasted some hot, dry engine air onto the windshield bathed in breath I pictured your soft, pink body buried down in that cold, hard earth I pictured some poor young lady in the city in a white bed giving birth as I sat there in the rental car your favorite song on the radio singin' to your hometown stars sittin' there alone as I sat there in the rental car your favorite song on the radio singin' to your hometown stars sittin' there alone
