Behind the distant city
She will ride under the water
She will leave her son and daughter
Reduced to lying naked
To feed those she holds sacred
She is bare of clothes and beauty
On disply in her nudity
If someone calls her name out
All she ever hears are cars
Through the window in the bathroom
Through the broken glass and bars
Seeking comfort in the wallet
Where she placed eighty dollars
When the last one has departed
She can slide into the darkness
And slowly down the river
The current pulls her under
And it bathes her in it's splendor
Is unmoved by her surrender
And faint through the water
The lights like brittle stars
Someone called her name out
She no longer hears the cars
Christine...
As the sun descends too quickly Behind the distant city She will ride under the water She will leave her son and daughter Reduced to lying naked To feed those she holds sacred She is bare of clothes and beauty On disply in her nudity If someone calls her name out All she ever hears are cars Through the window in the bathroom Through the broken glass and bars Seeking comfort in the wallet Where she placed eighty dollars When the last one has departed She can slide into the darkness And slowly down the river The current pulls her under And it bathes her in it's splendor Is unmoved by her surrender And faint through the water The lights like brittle stars Someone called her name out She no longer hears the cars Christine...
