She speaks to you in a language you don't understand
You close your eyes, hear the meaning in these words
There's a terrible weight that bears down on this town
Brought down upon by the misguided fortitude of man
You look up
She's gone away
You'll return to this place
To sit & wait
A man collapsed on the sidewalk heated by the sun
The streetlights reach for him, to hold him down
As the powerline cocoons him, they lick their lips
He falls now through this winding tar esophagus
It's quiet now
For the time of day
Her presence shadows you
She feels the same
