We passed 800 miles talking circles about living with loss
You said your sense of humor�s always helped you get above & across
Every hurdle, every chasm, every shocking & unspeakable blow
Just proves the universe is chaos so you laugh to clear the lump from your throat
But if you�re fixed on being bitter
Go be bitter on your own
We�re still two hours from El Paso
Arizona�s such a long way to go
The chemicals were coursing through our bloodstreams at incongruous rates
I was time-traveling inward through a past life I can never erase
You were hanging out the window, you said: �We�re just a beggar�s banquet in s***e�
You were laughing at the moon, you were cursing it for wearing your face
Me & New Mexico are orphans
Or is it b******s? Either way:
I know a guy in Roswell
We�ll hitch a moonride, steal you back your face
You sleep and whistle �Blackbird� backwards while my eyes cut her name in clay.
You wake to Mesa, Arizona
Say, �Let it go. She�ll change her mind someday.�
You took the wheel in Mesa, Arizona.
Said, �I got the rest, man.
You can drift away.�
