How can I slow down the race?
I'm moving at a traveler's pace
against the grain of mother's grace I've run
In the distant alleyways the latter saints of former days
erupt in laughter set ablaze for fun

A bottle for baby, a trigger for lady,
then maybe we'll all be fine
I'll keep you from sinking if you stop me from thinking
this fracture is just hairline

Let's never go back baby blue
They got all the answers but we got our highway shoes
Let's never go back baby blue
It's not over never was I thought you knew

The package that you found me in is now
crumpled up in your kitchen
I'm naked and I'm just begging for sleep
A dream or two to do me in
to slay the demons I begin to know so well they feel like kin to me

A body for sister, a window for mister
then maybe we'll all be fine
I'll keep you from sinking if you stop me from thinking
this fracture is just hairline

Let's never go back baby blue
They got all the answers but we got our highway shoes
Let's never go back baby blue
It's not over never was I thought you knew

Jump the bridge till you feel a breeze, a gentle breeze
