Low Visibility Blues


Well the
streets are cold and the
rain's falling slow
My brakes are busted and
visibility's low
The cars going by they all seem to
move too fast
Feels like another story that ain't
going to last

Sometimes you work so much you got no
time to eat
Sometimes you walk so much you can't
feel your feet
Some people talk so much you got no
time to think
I want to write things down but I've
got no ink

And I'm
lost among streets that I should
know by now
Shouldn't be out alone at this
kind of hour
And the road you're on
it's got no name
I'm getting too old
for this game

December's cruel, it's got
black dog's teeth
It's going to chase me right into
January
I want the most but I guess I'm going to
have to take the least
That's what you get when you drive too
carefully

And I don't know where I'm going to
live next year
The mayor said, Get out of town son, we don't
need your kind round here
'N' you tell me things and I don't
know if they're true
That doesn't stop me from
talking to you

Oh but
most of the time we just say
nothing at all
We'd maybe like to fly but we're too
scared to fall
And the wind blows so hard it just might
kill the flame
We're getting too cold
for this game

And I
like to look but now you tell me
I can't touch
Now you're telling everybody you never really did
like it all that much
You got so many masks I don't know
which one is you
That doesn't stop me from
trying to get through to you

And I
try to log in but I ain't
got the code
Don't seem to have the tools to find the
motherlode
Want to get to the core before it
goes up in flames
We're getting too cold
maybe just getting too cold
for this game
