Calexico - The Town & Miss Lorraine lyrics

I found a book in a washed up ship Reading the notes the captain stitched Inside this suit of dust I wait As the waves carry me back to shore My neighbor Miss Lorraine commands The town’s attention when she wants She has a way of making everyone she meets Feel lost and lone with no direction home There’s a bad accident on the interstate A snake of engine oil reaches out The fire inside my soul is nearly flickered out So I order another [?] Sliding into the sea With cynicism and rum Watching Miss Lorraine Smoking alone with the moon
