lyrics

Sixty miles away
Waiting for the light to change
Sixty miles away
Green says go and red says stay
Sixty miles apart
I’ve got sixty candles
On the window sill
20 cents to light the flame
That’s burning in the cold night chill

Dripless wax leaves no tracks
According to some
I’ve never been here before

Been around for 200 years
And my attention span
Has hit an all time low
During the day the hot sun rays
Have a tendency
To make me ill.
Feel my flesh it’s cold and grey
Beneath the powder and the rouge
My spirit is fading away

Dizziness
The ground a great distance below
Falling time seems eternal
Never stopping, never moving
Floating through space
See the earth so clearly now
Not that far
No not that close
It’s funny
It seems quite calm.
