Drag the river with a comb that you just bought   for a dollar at the drugstore on the font   If you catch a body falling star falling star   Is it anybody 'cause those has-beens don't fall far   Not like a comet shard not like a bullet shot at a passing car   Planned from the beginning from the very start   An arrow through the middle of the truest of hearts      That trick sent us into triple overtime and into sudden death   Certain inconsistencies saved us at the net   like that gentle retardation that I never will forget   I won't forget not like the time you let pass you by   like a comet in the night with its tail shining bright   a poker in the face of a dream pursuing sight      Salt sugar water and grease   run through the veins of the local police   Wide of the target and short of the mark   Like bears in the corner of a national park   they don't bark like dogs   or howl at the moon like a wolf in the fog   They never move too fast too far or too soon      The night you beat me up you said it wouldn't last   and you thought it would sink into the past   but it never could and it never will   I drag the river and I feel it still   A candy coating on the bitterest pill but I taste it
