Rubbernecker

Why a falling floor?
Please don’t tell me it’s an omen
All my days bleed into yours
All my blood is going and going
And deep in the vandal night
Moon acid as an orange
In my mid-city mood-ring Detroit light––
Gasoline, brown-blue-green, keep on pushing

A concrete cairn, that steel country
Eight Mile Wyoming to the border
Beyond all I see there in ruin
Your love has taken over me
Your love has taken over me

So don’t you worry about a raincheck with me
The firefight, the five-alarm still ringing in my ears
My soul, how hard you’re driving
Get along. Watch your own road
Get along, rubbernecker

So call me careless, call mе rash
But please don’t tell mе that I should feel lucky
To walk away, yeah
And send myself again barreling down the highway

Don’t you worry about a raincheck with me
The firefight, the five-alarm still ringing in my ears
My soul, how hard you’re driving
Get along. Watch your own road
Get along, rubbernecker
