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» |
