From the sunny skies of Brooklyn, New York
You and I drove into structured suburbia
Drove to avoid the stench of the city
And leave our problems behind for the summer
But you found yourself in the morgue again
Staring into the time machines there
I found myself in the strip mall again
With the addict's delusions of the wiccans in the parking lot
We checked ourselves into the hospital again
Which welcomed us with open arms
You watched us like ants under a microscope
Your corpse somewhere distant and betrayed
Visited me in that hospital again
With a young woman, a friend of yours
Saw by the twitch in her eye where she was from
Somewhere deep in the hidden depths of America
Dark, painful fragment from the past
That day, she stood bright and beaming
With a sharp, lightbulb smile
The other night's nightmare she decided she was ready
For dreams of d**h
Got out of the hospital again
Was thrown out with open arms
Found someone I could be stupid about again
With smooth, dark hair resting on my chest
Troubling, violent fantasies
Boring parties
And dreams of d**h
We all had supper again
And you sat with a tall gla** of the reddest blood
And you almost found out where it came from
We thought you knew
Came from down the road
Came from somewhere distant and betrayed
Came from somewhere far behind
