Divinity Avenue

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Love, all laughing at a line I'm running down my time I hope to hang around I trip into the town Float high up in the air, but I notice everywhere No distant shimmer shines Like when I stare at you A blazing beam Out of somebody's dream All bashing through the bed As some old poet said "A girl is like a car" I didn't get that far Because I didn't care [Verse 2] I'm getting tired of Nine-pound hammer swings Racing 'round in rings To lose another grand I'm broke, halfbeaten, and It really hurts my head To think how I'll be dead [Verse 3] An angel said Inside the waiting room Where Dad went to his doom "It's good just to be here" I think he was sincere With hat and little beard And losing half his hair He said, "I couldn't care I'm high up in the air I'm breathing in a cloud Of all I'm not allowed" And all of that because I don't know what it does I didn't get that far [Verse 4] Compacted cars Crumbled monuments And letters never sent And letters never wrote The lamest lovers' note Misfortune's endless plain Engulfed in people's pain Just losing half my hope I fell and kneeled Inside the shopping mall Security was called And joined me on the ground We sang in joyful shouts We cried our eyeballs out Well, they were pretty cool! [Verse 5] The summer pool! The winter on the lake! The stands at my old school! Awake the whole night long With little Johnny Jewel I think she got it from A television song Unless I'm wrong I could be wrong [Verse 6] I cried a tear For all that couldn't last I thought about my past I saw my mom and dad My brother and his wife We wept for our old life We'll never get it back [Verse 7] Oh, is it black? A big black nothingness Can nothingness exist? I never saw its like I swore to keep it light Just like Mike Booher said I will in the next line [Verse 8] So may limitless time And love without an end And drinks with all our friends And limitlessly lying With sweet and shallow breaths In soft sleepover beds Whole strings of summer nights And limitless goodbyes To those we'll never see again And limitless surprise And each and every thing All racing past our door Not knowing what it's for It's leaving us behind! It's fucked! No, no, it's fine I struggled, and I fought But I got just what I got It wasn't what I thought It was and wasn't mine [Verse 9] And may peace that's real and pure Be limitlessly yours In what I would be lying If I didn't describe As our limited life
