Forgive the lanterns

Streetlights burning on a dieing dream

wading in a pool of kerosene

phonebooks talking in thier sleep again

waiting on love and medicine

wish them well when they close the door

because you'll never see their face around anymore

Blank space on her Tennessee license plate

we all shook hands and went our seperate ways

Radios dont sing about pain like this

unless its sailing records on the top ten lists

the little paper dolls took their last encore

said they dont know what the cheerings for

but how can you bring them to their knees

when you still have yourself to please

the window lookers with their polaroids

look for the stories that the papers avoid

the new boy in town has got mouths to feed

he can't cut 'em loose, he's got to plant his seeds

you don't think you can fly with a brokn wing

but the street lights dream about everything
