lyrics

Payphone buzzes desperately
Like a fly caught between the screens
Scratching legs and breaking wings
Against what she can't see
Eight eyes scan the sand-trap
Like a diver in the deep
As she weightlessly will creep
Around what we don't know
And she will be miles from here
More far than near
When I find something better on my own
Shot below the grain-belt
Like a watcher in the wheat
Always vigilant but meek
Against the weight of it
Lucky to discover
That the sour fruit is sweet
And the sorrow and the heat
Will fade eventually
And she will be miles from here
More far than near
When I find something better on my own
