lyrics

Calling out all the spectres still around, the old pre-fabricated hallowed ground. Sno cone kids and death girls saunter 'round. The incidental galaxies abound. Back in River Town, kissed in cars as the stars collided. Down in River Town, sharing sighs with the subdivided. Every other lawn a chapter, every street was a show, with so much story left to go. That ivy-ridden school looks so small, the dungeon that I dreaded every fall. I was overwrought. I was slinking down the hall. Am I still like that at all? I can't make that call. Back in River Town, young blood coursing under autumn sweaters. Down in River Town, just one touch and we'll ride forever. Hear it in the two-chord epics, lost in the sweetest glow. The stories spun out years ago. All the pale and raging angels in the crinoline and burgundy are nowhere to be seen. And the crumbling bridge where the smokers used to make out and caterwaul—it's as empty as a dying mall. And the songs are just raw data crackling through the digital air, like a soundtrack to nowhere. And the ghosts you keep embracing and the steps you keep retracing—tell me what is it you're chasing? And after all these stalls in time, the frozen wonder, the uncommitted crimes—how did it all unravel so? Where's this story supposed to go?
