lyrics

I awoke under a different sun one day
I arose in the same way I suppose
but had a different sort of heat on my face

And my feet found a different sort of floor
Every step was a minuet, yeah,
common time fell away to three four.

And the light it looks different
in the rearview mirror
and the past was a hell sent
but it brought me here

Mary-ann is a pretty pretty girl
Coulda been a movie star, her name in bright lights
underneath her tongue, a pearl

Now she sits with a broken angel grace
slumped over ever since they sawed her angel wings off
left her with shoulder blades

Every night she remembers
the first mistake
says, ‘I only keep drinking
so my hands won’t shake.’

Outside there’s a red moon rising
bleeding over everybody’s dream
so it comes to compromising
What stays dirty
What must you keep clean?

Take a heart, take a nickel for it’s worth
find a slot kick it in and hope jackpot
you know every day’s another curse

but it’s hard, it’s the last back alley proof
it ain’t a lot, but babe it’s all you got
all these lies gotta build a truth

And the mirror is cracked now
you still see your face
the past is a fact now
that you can’t erase
