lyrics

When I couldn’t sleep that night,
should’ve known right then that I wasn’t alright.
I was shivering up in the sheets,
thinking death.

Swatting flies away from the meat,
throwing rocks at feral dogs in the street.
Someone told me that somebody died
from a snake bite here last year.

Burning up into the greying sky,
thinking: who might build one when I die?
It was all I could do.
If you asked me there
in the muggy air
Are you gonna be alright man?
I’d have laughed
‘cause it’s all I could do.

When I lost myself back there,
well I couldn’t breathe for the smoke in the air
coming off the plastic and trash,
burning high.

Getting dizzy sick in the street,
and you stopped up the way just ahead of me.
I was staring down at my feet,
at an offering of flowers

burning up into the greying sky,
thinking: who might build one when I die?
It was all I could do.
If you asked me there
in the muggy air
Are you gonna be alright man?
I’d have laughed
‘cause it’s all I could do.
