lyrics

COLUMBIA'S DEAD

"pain, no barricades"
pay no mind to what she just said
she lacks direction
spinning in a circle, cutthroat red

backhand chain reaction
i closed both my eyes
and hid in my face
two-bit resurrection
bargained and blistered
for you now
she'd never cry
to the moon in her eyes
it's all in her head
columbia's dead

a cliche or a daydream?
i robbed her of soul
and i left her for dead
too far down the shoreline
right next to the grave
that she dug for me
no, she'd never cry
to the sun in her eyes
it's all in her head
columbia's dead

she'd never cry
to some god in her eyes
that was me in her head
columbia's dead

-August 1996
