Found down in some beach town
Brass tape staked up all around
Bodies lying in sand up to their hands
Chief among them is making commands
She says
"Why do you cry? You are alive! You have a chance to be happy!
But this blood in the sand's got the upper hand
Do you think that you've outgrown it?
Like a moth that's tired of fire"
Valerie's words run through my mind
Found down in some beach town
Popped top after making a sound
Towels waving in wind amid reds and blues
Chief among them is searching for clues
She says
"Why do you cry? You are alive! You have a chance to be happy!
But this blood in the sand's got the upper hand
Do you think that you've outgrown it?
Like a moth that's tired of fire"
Valerie's words run through my mind
"Why do you cry? You are alive! You have a chance to be happy!
But this blood in the sand's got the upper hand
Do you think that you've outgrown it?
Like a bird that's tired of wires"
Valerie's words run through my mind
