There's a candlelight vigil for the new fallen hero But I've got to move along or I'm counting to zero Don't get me wrong, it's not that it numbs me I give praise to the sunrise And thanks every evening I knew when the radio said so long Cause there was static in the air And the music was gone But I can't believe it's disappeared It can't vanish just cause he's not here The clouds they all dash and they scatter as I'm writing They crawl for their supper and they live for the lightning But who knows when it's born or where it shall extinguish Because it might be the barn, but it could be ambitious I know I've said it once before We're all targets, well that was just a metaphor You have to be careful what you believe When some terrified person tries to pin his fears on your sleeve Josephine's out walking, she's got a seed in her belly Her husband's a hoodlum, but she knows that I am steady And when we go rambling it's always all or nothing Cause if the lawn freezes over then the house becomes a prison And the rain it can't reach us, her hands are too precious And the sun lost his fingers, got them caught in an eclipse If the highway folds up we'll drive through the canyon With our blueprints on horseback and those echos in the wagon When the farmers were deserted and the earth cracked up The ocean responded with just a teacup It rained for a second and then it was over They looked down at their hands and suddenly they were older I know when the harvest has come and gone Cause there's no cotton in the air and even the weeds become brown But I can't wait for them to turn I've got to slash and I've got to burn I've got to slash and burn There's a man without hope kicking the ground He's waiting for something to come and cut him down He says the earth is too dry but his vision is so weak He can't see the gold strained underneath his feet I know when it's time to say so long There'll be static in the air and the music will be gone But I've got enough sense between my ears To know what remains when I disappear from here When I disappear from here Disappear from here Disappear Disappear Disappear
