lyrics

There ain’t no rest for flyin’ feet,
Lemme have what’s left of this fugitive’s dream and my foggy window fantasy

Despite my hopes, the sun is back
Turning rust to gold on the old train track
It’s time to move my little ass,
No time to weep — the time to weep has passed

There’ a guiding light in the changing sky Prayers go up in straight lines
And August is just a neon sign
It’s mine though, it’s mine though — it’s mine

All the ghosts are talking
with their mouths full,
and me, I’m watching the turnstiles turn
And grace is god
and god is the only one here with nowhere to turn in my fugitive’s dream
in my fugitive’s dream

Chin up, cheer up, sugarplum,
The paper’s sayin’ that we’ve won Healed the leper, chased the sun,
It’s over now, it’s over now — it’s done

Mother beneath your gentle braids, Behind the hands that hide your face, The madmen in the marketplace
It’s over now, it’s over now — We're safe

I cheer from bed, still spent from sex
The spiders have all gone to their nests
finally I get my rest
It’s over now, it’s over now —
In my fugitive’s dream,
I’m sneaking off to the choir to sing
