Behind The Frontlines |
| Blue light of morning, palm trees in rows |
| The end of my affair with the west coast |
| I was already dressed when she opened her mouth |
| Decided to give up the ghost |
| Helicopters, the coast guard and radar screens |
| The haunted and lonely technology |
| I’ll cut all my ties with the dead and the dying |
| I have been wasting my time |
| In need of a substance to steady my hands |
| I’m gonna make the most of this day’s plans |
| Falling in love with the shivering engines |
| Falling in love with the prettiest sound |
| I’m on your side |
| Behind the frontlines |
| A tear in the fabric that no one could see |
| But your heart was always unraveling |
| I gathered the twine as it trailed from behind |
| Collected it all in my coat |
| The Pacific Ocean you claim as your own |
| The vineyard, the graveyard, the grapes and the bones |
| Falling in love with the weight of the water |
| Falling in love with the taste of the ghost |
| I’m on your side |
| Behind the frontlines |
| On drugs in the dark with the one I love |
| That, my friends, is where I wish I was |
| Tied up in twine with the dead and the dying |
| Dragging back home under her control |
| She’s looking for someone to settle her debts |
| And I always settle for the silhouettes |
| Falling in love with some back-lighted stranger |
| Falling in love and going into the red |
| I’m on your side |
| Behind the frontlines |
