There was a man who killed a state trooper    And drove his pickup truck to Belmar    And slept in a beach house, a dream of the day    when two protons collide and everything everything changes       When I drive with floodplains on either side of me    And in the back seat my friends point out egrets' nests    High on the telephone poles       Friends fuck each other in the guest room    I feel the ghost of all the parties still happening    Right on this very spot that I am standing    Kids are blissing in the spare room, light years away       The drug store smilers tower ten feet tall    Over a maze of abandoned cars   Their canceled eyes show through the holes in their sphinx masks    I scramble to the dunes to puke under the pale moon       It is initiation season    So watch out for the cars with no lights on    If you flash them they will swing around    And follow you home       And in the lamp light living room    A portal gently pulls at all the shit that you own    What a relief it is to laugh like this years later    Through tears at someone's kitchen table    Feeling the full weight of all that dark energy       Because there's matter and there's legion else    Unobservable scaffolding for planets and stars      Dry mushrooms taste a lot like communion wafers    To see cathedral ships behind the Bucks County sky when I was thirteen   My man's in a hallucination reverie       He says that there was a man    Who went and murdered a plainclothes    But he drove so far away from Belmar    Because all of the people there hung glow in the dark masks on every single screen door    A crown vic in the rear view, oh my God
