Fate sits in a dark room

Crooked fingers counting

Rubbing two coins together

Silver as the devil's scripture

The rain slicks the ground like blood in black and white

Violence measured in miles per hour

In this lipstick criminal moonlight

Up ahead, a neon sign screams, "BREED!"

As I recall orgasms on pink sheets

My girl fortune

She left home

With a suitcase

And a gun

Just to serve

Hatesex on the beach

At the Dead End Hotel

No Vacancy

No Vacancy

No Vacancy

There's a salacious convention at the gates of hell

(No Vacancy)

I mean Texas

The inconsistencies of our alibis stretch forever outward

Like the cracks in our windshield

I keep chancing glances at the blonde riding shotgun

With angel eyes staring bright into headlights

Thinking we lived our lives like mistakes, just waiting to happen

Unsmoked cigarettes burn to ash at our knuckles

The sky has since dried it's eyes and assumed the color of a half-healed bruise

Dawn comes and goes

Just keep driving towards the sun, til I go blind, or burst into flames

Night falls every now and again with startling frequency

The last moon hung in my head for three whole days

Worms and all

The world is flat and we're trying to find an edge

We know HOW the world ends, just not WHERE the world ends

There's a factory at the edge of town that can manufacture this "elephant in the room"

Or is it more of an elephant graveyard?

If love is alone

Regret is in tow

This road never ends

So I'll drive really slow

Brick by brick

And stone by stone

We'll make a home

Of this yellow brick road

A phone rings in the desert

Rubbing two coins together

But the voodoo wives are gnawing at the bone

One last wink of a silver dollar

"Fuck me"

Forever sleep....

The guilt like cold breath

On our necks

Phantom ropes tighten as

The hangman's watch ticks

Buckle up and drive again

Fate sits in a dark room

With a haggard hand

That keeps moving peace

Just out of reach
