The summer that
I broke my arm
I waited for your letter
I have no feeling
for you now
now that
I know you better
I wish that I could
have loved you then
before our age
was through
And before a world war
does with us
whatever it will do
Dreamt I drove home
to Houston
on a highway
that was underground
There was no light
that we could see
as we listened
to the sound
of the engine failing
I feel like I've been
living in
a city with
no children in it
A garden left for ruin
by a millionaire inside
of a private prison
You never trust
a millionaire
quoting the sermon
on the mount
I used to think
I was not like them
but I'm beginning
to have my doubts
my doubts about it
When you're hiding
underground
the rain can't
get you wet
But do you think
your righteousness
could pay the interest
on your debt?
I have my doubts about it
I feel like I've been
living in
a city with
no children in it
A garden left for ruin
by a billionaire inside
of a private prison
I feel like I've been
living in
a city with
no children in it
A garden left for ruin
by and by
as I hide inside
of my private prison
