Streaks of light On the graveyard walk Your bright star was crashin' Crashin' the dark Dreamed of a cold night To freeze it in place Dreamed of ship bells and thunder Ringin' us under Dreamed all the way home That you'd never go Talked up and down it Mornin', noon and night Alone in the optimists chair Said our instincts were right But now I know the clean choice Was the worst choice of all I'd rather feel guilt Than this desert inside I'd rather steal wicked Than lay down in pride Gone forever Forever gone Made a mess of this town But that's what we always do Throwin' glass to the floor Now it's cuttin' right through More than a year's time 'Til ya give up the scheme My wood matches meltin' The ghosts from your wedding ring Never trusted fate But I wish that I had Fate is what answered Your slow cry for help Fate was your motive Your fate was yourself Gone forever Forever gone Made a mess of this town But that's what we always do Throwin' glass to the floor Now it's cuttin' right through Gone forever Forever gone I'd rather feel guilt Than this desert inside I'd rather steal wicked Than lay down in pride Seems like a long time... oooh!
