At dawn i walked across my front lawn Humming some blodying, nordic rowing song It was raked and cut and comforting, To comfort i said so long I stole my girl from her backyard We jumped on a train (anacostia, va) To greyhound across the united states We set off in hope of changing our lives But settled intead in a holiday inn, riverside I woke up in the morning all alone I walked down to the lobby and found her on the phone "david" she said, "i miss you i'm coming home" I pulled her by the arm, she grabbed me by the throat I went to the room and threw all her things Of the 17th floor balcony and set out We set off in hope of changing our lives But settled intead in a holiday inn, riverside
