lyrics

I was driving home late last night
Hit a child in the street, think I killed her

I know where the lightning’s gonna land
I see it coming down in great white sheets, I understand

There’s a wolf lost from the hills out in the alphabet blocks
Infants disappearing every night, I see it on the five’o’clock.

When I think I might forget I drive out to the end of the pier.
shadow in the passenger seat, I know you’re near.

But Danny, Danny what have I done?
They say the righteous, we must serve everyone
Now I’m born to believe, but I won’t drop down to my knees
Danny, don’t tell anyone.

There’s something in the woods behind the park
You used to shine with such a beauty, I could find you in the dark

You’re crippled in this world if there’s one above you.
Stick a needle through that demon heart if he claims he loves you

They’re burning beasts where they stand out in the open fields
It’s getting hard to separate the fable from the real.

Blood in our veins it carries memory
It’s the one last thing they’ll try to take away from me

But Danny, Danny what have they done?
I’m slipping through the cracks of this so-called civilization
If I’m one of a kind, tell me why am I falling behind?
Danny they got me on the run.

Looks like there’s junkies in that old abandoned church
They’re living life by bucket, blade and candle
I try to think of them as real but it don’t always work
Smaller things in this world I can’t handle

Danny, Danny what have they done?
How can I be sure the people know who’s really won?
I remember what you said about how to wake the living through the dead
It’s as clear to me as the rising sun.
