i put the candle out between my fingertips
did you see it? did you see it through
my bedroom window, flashing lights on both ends
yeah i saw it, did you see it too?
i wander now in parking lots
king soopers ain’t got what i want,
do you?
i pull the covers closer up to my chin
and i try my best to sleep again
but sleep will never come till i get over it
so i guess i'm staying up again
cause i’m just a slug when you get down to it
looking up downtown’s starless glow
bottom of a leaf, i’m gonna stick to it
until the city’s gutters overflow
if i don’t care about anything
who’s to care about what i think?
the radio’s gone off the air
when i sleep, why do i care
for you?
