Feeling Like I'm Almost Gone, But I Know I've Just Begun

a couple keys in my pocket

maybe one turns the power

on the drive wheel in my mind

oh stain

oh brain

it’s the land of a thousand dances in my soul and you are standing still

mouse looks for cheese in the dark

and finds the trap in my car

i set for beggars in the night

oh brain

oh stain

it’s a tidal wave of danger in the trunk of your slowly falling skirt

hands scramble to entertain

nothing to grip in reach

the shifter is missing, so lost

oh stain

oh brain

it’s a lifetime of winters inside the neon pink cascading from your palace

and i don’t even want to know why

and she don’t even feel the cry

of all the hounds that prowl the woods tonight

oh brain

oh stain

i think i’ll just lie down with love

or something else we could dream of
