lyrics

There is a throbbing
in the middle of his chest
as he stares out into the distance,
into the deepness of the evening,
and what the sun has left.
He wants to make a stand,
to show the world what he's feeling;
he wants to set fire to the anguish,
spread the ash of his madness
with some meaning.

But he knows there's nothing special;
he knows there's nothing special,
about his situation
about his situation.

They live together,
they finally made it into the city.
She'll start taking work on Sunday mornings,
they'll sell the car and start bussing,
and make it work OK.
Maybe things could be better,
maybe everything,
but there she smiles beneath the lamplight
as he brings water to the bedside,
and it's a simple thing.

They know there's nothing special,
but they know there's just something special,
about their situation
about their situation.

As he goes down, she goes running
to pull him out of that state of mind.
If it's just life, and if it's worth living,
she'll hold it up in a bead of light.

There is a throbbing;
a hand that holds onto his heart,
as she steps forth out of the doorway
and says something like, "Are you hungry?"
as the sky grows dark.
