My name's tattooed
On the bottom of a riverbed
And though the A's are smeared from toes
The clay won't heal until the world is dead
I try to navigate slow
But the current won't leave me alone
I try to keep the picture clear
But the thought's replaced by something better
You're no racist
You just think driving fast in cars is fun
To get a thousand miles from home
You never mean to suffer anyone
You try to let it go
But the streetlights won't leave you alone
You try to get the picture clear
But the thoughts replaced by something better

You crawled in through the doorway
Left a trail along the floor
My instinct was to kill you
For the shell that you wore
You were honest in your movements
And determined to survive
I squelched my own desire
Just to keep you alive
But I wasn't wrong
To want you to die
Because now I'm a slave to your tribe
And on and on
I spend my hours brooding
How could things go so wrong
This torment could be over
If I had the strength to be strong
But I know I don't
And you know it, too
So now I am stuck here with you
And on and on

Spent an hour dodging ghosts in the basement
Drove my car right off the road
Now on fire, I can see all their faces
Disdain, telling me not to go
I was the only one you knew who could break this city
Sleep until sunrise in the park
I guess you knew what damage I could do
You kept a picture of St. David around
You paid for cures so I could be brand new
I drifted over to the exit and out
It has been the longest winter that you can remember
But you pretend that you can cope
Bagging hand-me-downs to drop off at the local shelter
Hopeless automatic dope
And in your face there's been a change
Some strange wrinkle for a later age
Indignation in your eyes
I'm sorry if I made you feel like a chump
I had a lot of things to work on back home
And if I knew how this would make you feel
I might have fought a little harder to hold on

Atom Bomb

Ignore all warnings
We'll eat our feasts and mow our lawns
Devour our cure-all
With panic accosting everyone
We never saw it coming
There's no use hiding
They'll take you dead or alive
Like an atom bomb
Deep sleep, tight smile
Settle for satisfactory
Weary and listless
I choose a far off country
Then from the water or the sky
It's touching home this winter
Don't bother with shelter
There's no more saying you'll try
Like an atom bomb
