The Devil Never Sleeps |
| Dreaming again of a train track ending at the edge of the sea |
| (Big black cloud was low and rolling our way) |
| Dog at the barbed wire barking at my buzz cut friends and me |
| (Sound of a switchblade shining in the summer rain) |
| No one on the corner had a quarter for the telephone |
| Everybody bitching, «There's nothing on the radio» |
| Dreaming again of a city full of fathers in their army clothes |
| (Chattering boys and a chicken at the chopping block) |
| All of us lost at the crosswalk waiting for the other to go |
| (Didn't find a friend but, boy, I really bought a lot) |
| Someone bet a dollar that my daddy wasn’t coming home |
| Everybody bitching, «There's nothing on the radio» |
| Dreaming again that it’s freezing and my mother’s in her flowerbed |
| (Long dead rows of daffodils and marigolds) |
| Changing her face like a shadow on the gravel, this is what she said, |
| (Blood on my chin, still chewing on a red rose) |
| «No one lives forever and the devil never sleeps alone» |
| Everybody bitching, «There's nothing on the radio» |
