Deer in the yard, eyes glazed falling, shadow cast away, shaking hands steady
Chase the dragon chase the garbage heap, when I find you you are fast asleep
and I hold you close, and I hold you near, but you don't respond, and you're not sincere
And you run away
Still I won't believe it when you're
Catching stars
Burning light into your palms and
You don't care
How many people you leave behind you now
The earth above, the rot below, Orion falls, and breaks his bow
His eyes torn out, yet he can see, when he cries he cries for me
And your hair is tied, and I hold it back, as your life runs down, another arrow in your back
And you're bounding past
Rock to rock across the water
Skipping stones
Frozen in the headlights of a-
nother year
And even if you left him you can't live without him now
And I'm fading fast, and I won't complain, and you're fading fast, another dollar in your hand
And I want you home, and I want you safe, beggars can't be choosers, but cheaters try all the same
Pink eye burning, moon stands rising, this was our home, a silent warning
Shoot for the moon and land among the stars (Orion)
The light pollution don't reach this far (Orion)
The lights of the city don't reach this far (Orion)
