Divinity Avenue

[Verse 1]
Love, all laughing at a line
I'm running down my time
I hope to hang around
I trip into the town
Float high up in the air, but
I notice everywhere
No distant shimmer shines
Like when I stare at you
A blazing beam
Out of somebody's dream
All bashing through the bed
As some old poet said
"A girl is like a car"
I didn't get that far
Because I didn't care

[Verse 2]
I'm getting tired of
Nine-pound hammer swings
Racing 'round in rings
To lose another grand
I'm broke, halfbeaten, and
It really hurts my head
To think how I'll be dead

[Verse 3]
An angel said
Inside the waiting room
Where Dad went to his doom
"It's good just to be here"
I think he was sincere
With hat and little beard
And losing half his hair
He said, "I couldn't care
I'm high up in the air
I'm breathing in a cloud
Of all I'm not allowed"
And all of that because
I don't know what it does
I didn't get that far

[Verse 4]
Compacted cars
Crumbled monuments
And letters never sent
And letters never wrote
The lamest lovers' note
Misfortune's endless plain
Engulfed in people's pain
Just losing half my hope
I fell and kneeled
Inside the shopping mall
Security was called
And joined me on the ground
We sang in joyful shouts
We cried our eyeballs out
Well, they were pretty cool!

[Verse 5]
The summer pool!
The winter on the lake!
The stands at my old school!
Awake the whole night long
With little Johnny Jewel
I think she got it from
A television song
Unless I'm wrong
I could be wrong

[Verse 6]
I cried a tear
For all that couldn't last
I thought about my past
I saw my mom and dad
My brother and his wife
We wept for our old life
We'll never get it back

[Verse 7]
Oh, is it black?
A big black nothingness
Can nothingness exist?
I never saw its like
I swore to keep it light
Just like Mike Booher said
I will in the next line

[Verse 8]
So may limitless time
And love without an end
And drinks with all our friends
And limitlessly lying
With sweet and shallow breaths
In soft sleepover beds
Whole strings of summer nights
And limitless goodbyes
To those we'll never see again
And limitless surprise
And each and every thing
All racing past our door
Not knowing what it's for
It's leaving us behind!
It's fucked!
No, no, it's fine
I struggled, and I fought
But I got just what I got
It wasn't what I thought
It was and wasn't mine

[Verse 9]
And may peace that's real and pure
Be limitlessly yours
In what I would be lying
If I didn't describe
As our limited life
