lyrics

I don’t carry in my pocket a piece of paper with my name and number printed on it
maybe I should or maybe it’s good we don’t need to fall in love
right this minute we’re just talking

I woke up early in the morning the sun was shining in the sky on the town that i was born in
back before these vigilantes told the cops that Jesus died and left them California
It’s been so long since I’ve been home even though three years ago
a lawyer called and said you’ve got one of your own
what good is some one’s shelter if one shelters there alone

All the way up from Laguna through Santa Cruz to Petaluma
I imagined all my friends and I could run away
but they don’t feel you trick or treater when your costume is cult leader
your wide eyed brides all vandalized my cemetery stones

I know there’s places we can’t go I never asked to be followed
as if this crazy message was the love we’ve never shown
what good is some one’s shelter if one shelters there alone

I don’t carry in my pocket a piece of paper with my name and number printed on it
maybe I should or maybe it’s good we don’t need to fall in love
right this minute we’re just talking
