Waterside (4:50)

The old car in the driveway just jumped backwards twice
Like the pull before any good renaissance
Now love and hate are kissing in the backseat
As it flies on down the road

Raised in the shadows of sluts and rebels
Jenny diver kept her pearls away
From the drunkest Casanova
And the bold crash city girls

An ill mind… the body of a dancer
Leather the color of childhood
And a few other shades we never fully understand

And by the waterside she put my hands inside
And it was something gold
That day by the waterside
I might just have found something
Real

Like a butterfly suture on a timeline
The way we raped fate
Water rushing through the pipeline
Here are the big sky days

And by the waterside she showed me how to die
And it was something gold
And I say
You know it wasn’t that bad
I’m telling you now
You know it wasn’t that bad
