waiting for the spring
cuz the air is so damn dirty it chokes and it whispers out my lungs
still try to keep my voice young
but ill sit walled in drinking coffee and smoking
til my muscles crack and my arms break off
and i wish u could drive me home
but u gave up with no ghost to show
when the rolling blackouts wind their way thru the prison towns at night
when ur lover spends winter in a cage
when the poison ground behind our house kills the seeds before they take
all the same i wish it would rain
i wish it would rain on me and mine
i wish it would rain and wash this broken dirt
waiting for the thaw
cuz my heart breaks loud in my ears at night
i just spot weld as i go
but i cant drive north while the roads closed
and none of u have been allowed to plant ur roots deep enuf
to save my sorry ass from the avalanche
and when the ground gave way on me
somethin about it made me feel like i was dreaming
when the rolling blackouts wind their way through the prison towns at night
when ur lover spends winter in a cage
when im sick to death of whispering halfhearted and bitter prayers
all the same i wish it would rain
i wish it would rain on all the junk that we abandoned by the side of the road
i wish it would rain and drip thru my dirty clothes
