Impossible as a Postcard
I see the town all lit up
Parked atop the hill
Pretty as a postcard
And as impossible
I see the bars at night
The bile and the swill
In flickering light
The putrid and the ill
I walk barefoot down Main St
A heel in either hand
I hear a generator
I hear an old brass band's
Undead processional
A funeral for the damned
Wailing until
The night comes to an end
In the park you tell me
Forever and a day
I feel it in my stomach
I feel it in the way
Your finger down my back
Is lightning snapped awake
A thunderous clap
Preceded by the rain
I watch you in moonlight
Silhouette in frame
Beneath the twisted oak trees
Beside the crackling flame
I see it all so bright
Your beauty and your pain
The whole of your life
The well of everything
The whole of your life
The well of everything
Parked atop the hill
Pretty as a postcard
And as impossible
I see the bars at night
The bile and the swill
In flickering light
The putrid and the ill
I walk barefoot down Main St
A heel in either hand
I hear a generator
I hear an old brass band's
Undead processional
A funeral for the damned
Wailing until
The night comes to an end
In the park you tell me
Forever and a day
I feel it in my stomach
I feel it in the way
Your finger down my back
Is lightning snapped awake
A thunderous clap
Preceded by the rain
I watch you in moonlight
Silhouette in frame
Beneath the twisted oak trees
Beside the crackling flame
I see it all so bright
Your beauty and your pain
The whole of your life
The well of everything
The whole of your life
The well of everything
