Shaking this quilted cocoon   Just us two   Underneath Middle-western moons   By the back roads   I’ve got a secret   I don’t want to speak   The end came as such a relief   I’m so low      Take this from me   What it’s worth   When you heard I swore vengeance on heaven and earth   Till the end comes   And now if you’re listening   And if you’re at peace   Do you have wiser words for me   I could use some      “Lay on the rails   Withered and frail   Why bear this weight   When I’d escape”   I’m sorry I can’t say goodbye   You’re just not ready, you’re just not ready      I’m sure that I’ve been expelled   It’s hard to tell if the people you knew so well   Really knew you   A box of your letters and tapes of your songs   How could they be so wrong?      This vested trust   Beyond us   So show me then   I’m waiting   This vested trust   Beyond us   So show me then   I’m waiting
