i just heard the news
in a glimpse, i thought of you
i thought it strange to talk it out
i thought it cruel to write it down
but there i was memorializing
there i was prophecizing
thinking of ways to keep myself up
but now is not the time, my love
now is not the time
and i was on the corner a good 10 minutes
a fool to think you’d ever forget it
i read what everyone said
i read their thoughts and prayers about the dead
i felt the panic of blood rush into my head
felt the panic of blood rush in
and i was speechless for the first time in months
but now is not the time my love
you’ll never say nothing wrong
so long as you keep outta your brain
you’ll never say nothing wrong, again
so long…
never mind the silence
your mind will eat it up
filling it with pictures
of middle-aged bad luck
it’s easier to be shameless
when you can’t feel the seasons’ changes
when you can’t feel the heat in August
when your mind’s erased in all this
and all these thoughts coming out of thin air
but now is not the time, my dear
you’ll never say nothing wrong
so long as you keep outta your brain
you’ll never say nothing wrong, again
so long…
