lyrics

Swinging, almost stars
Singing, naming cars
The maps don’t have no places
So the spinning wheels won’t reach
The distance doesn’t leave
The maps are in their places
And I’m gone, out of the way

The summer’s coming down like
The devil or a clown might
Like a whisper you once borrowed
Tell me mister, tell me more

The dancing statue’s down
The bastard moving clouds
The letter’s got no pages
In the shadows, morning sounds
The answers echo round
The letters and torn out phrases
And I’m gone, out of the way

Did you find the face you were making
Hanging on the back of the door
Tell me mister, tell me more
