Caltrops, Honey

Yellow leaves at the break of dawn
But there's still a long way to go
Pulling off to the side of the road
As the murmuration grows

Brown blur in the desert light
Our hearts on fire as love takes flight
We drive all the day and into the night
As the evening redness glows

And it's all right

Gonna drive till our hearts are blind
Till the afterlight is all that shines

It's all right

Red stars in these sordid bars
Got a dozen glazed eyes on mine
We plot against the wretched hives
And plan against the coming ides

Pink horse coming up the road
Said the runways closed just do as your told
Gotta knack for picking up the slack
But something's gotta turn these tides

And it's all right

Gonna drive till our hearts are blind
Till the afterlight is all that shines

It's all right

Gonna drive till our hearts are blind
Till your hands grow cold & dry like mine

Headlights coming up the road
Swerving fast around and round we go

Are we living are we breathing
Broken glass and engine bleeding
Steam and spit and clouds of smoke
A hundred miles an hour and we choke
And we

Found love in a State cafe
As shadows played against the wall
We packed our bag & made for the road
And we watched the darkness fall

The road was closed we broke on through
We drop caltrops that's what we do
Gotta knack for turning dirt into stars
Get married in a million bars

And it's all right

Gonna drive till our hearts are blind
Till the afterlight is all that shines

It's all right

Gonna drive till our hearts are blind
Till your hands grow cold & dry like mine

Hope that love would last
In this after light

It's all right

The road was closed we broke on through
We drop caltrops that's what we do
Gotta knack for turning dirt into stars
Get married in a million bars

Red stars in these sordid bars
Got a dozen glazed eyes on mine
We plot against the wretched hives
And plan against the coming ides

Pink horse coming up the road
Said the runways closed just do as your told
Gotta knack for picking up the slack
But something's gotta turn these tides

It's all right

Hope that love would last
In this after light
