You got your little heart set
On waiting for the dawn
You been brainstorming
About my place in the Sun

And my bulb went black
And a thousand diamondbacks
Came slithering
And humming

We built a little bonfire
By the Two Cent Bridge
You were dreaming of the crossing
I was staring at the edge

And my jaw went slack
And a thousand razorbacks
Came charging
And streaming

I still leave the porch light on
But the curtains are drawn
It's so easy loving nothing
You feel nothing when it's gone

Feel it down my back
Like a thousand railroad tracks
Speeding out of town
