She sees the stars traveling in the sea above,
It gives her a reason, it gives her a hope for love,
It's something she told me of,
The day that push came to shove,
She could believe in the trail that would lead her out,
Gathering listless, eyes searching all about,
Hiding her fears and doubts,
Give a start with a shout,
Her boy is wandering under moon,
Balancing on a guitar string out of tune,
Put them in boxes, hurtle them down the path,
Burn out the world in the throws of a speeding wrath,
Brace yourself for the crash,
We're getting there pretty fast,
Give him the carpet and give her the countertops,
Knock down the prices, it don't need to stand for long,
We'll be well-off and gone,
It's nothing to linger on,
They're upside down their bottoms-up they're awash,
Their dragging their feet, they're bearing an albatross,
Man, I got carried away,
He wants a hostage, he wants the hoover dam,
Get him arrested, put him with Uncle Sam,
Say yes sir and ma'am,
The bonds don't give a damn,
He'll wreck up a subway, he'll let out a battle cry,
He'll light up a high school and use it for alibi,
His parents will wonder why,
It's something to know him by,
He'll keep his peace and bury it underground,
It's thirty pieces, Jesus, man, look around.
