lyrics

The soft dead leaves in the rain
they fell at once, a distant car alarm
in the thunderstorm, a branch comes down
and it’s nobody’s fault

I suspect, the windowpanes,
it rattles them all, the windows of my room,
while I fall asleep, the redness
calling warm and bleeding salt

lights on Benevolent I can hear the sirens
night in Providence working through a bad dream

I see a three and a queen
my eyes are sore, too much solitaire
in the store at night, a kid comes in
and looks me up and down

Could I have been a troubled teen?
I floated before, too much in the air
I walk away cause it is
painful just to look around

lights out Benefit as I leave a party
night in Providence exiting a bad dream
