Paragraph Lyric
The girl down the street saw my ghost on the road
But I sailed the backyard asleep in my boat
Both paddles broken, no sail for the wind
A bathtub, a bottle, to drown myself in

And she ran through the town like the end was upon us
Screaming like birds above angry high seas
The newspaper boys pulled a high-dollar favor
And my drunk brother sang of where they could find me

The girl told the preacher her vision of doom
He petted the Book said, “It’s slightly too soon”
A flashbulb, a nudge and I left my best dream
And rose like the specter of Jasper County
The girl down the street saw my ghost on the road   But I sailed the backyard asleep in my boat   Both paddles broken, no sail for the wind   A bathtub, a bottle, to drown myself in      And she ran through the town like the end was upon us   Screaming like birds above angry high seas   The newspaper boys pulled a high-dollar favor   And my drunk brother sang of where they could find me      The girl told the preacher her vision of doom   He petted the Book said, “It’s slightly too soon”   A flashbulb, a nudge and I left my best dream   And rose like the specter of Jasper County
