Lighthouse

They're turnin' your house into a parking lot One more outfitter store that only the tourists want In the corner of town that just you and time forgot I sit where your couch was, say, "Go ahead and call the cops" Feedin' the flightless birds on the pier Hopin' you might return to the fog 'round here But I look out At the wreckage of you For as long as there's light For as long as you last I curse 'em all out When they fuck up your story I tell it the way that you told me You were born with a face made for a "Missing" sign But you had somethin' misplaced that you'd spend your life tryna find I still hear your name from some of the local guys Said they always placed you for the leavin' type But I look out At the wreckage of you For as long as there's light For as long as you last I curse 'em all out When they fuck up your story I tell it the way that you told me I comb the lighthouse And hope you're there in the mornin' Burnin' your boat Back to the ocean Ah Ah Ah Ah
