Lighthouse

They're turnin' your house into a parking lot

One more outfitter store that only the tourists want

In the corner of town that just you and time forgot

I sit where your couch was, say, "Go ahead and call the cops"

Feedin' the flightless birds on the pier

Hopin' you might return to the fog 'round here

But I look out

At the wreckage of you

For as long as there's light

For as long as you last

I curse 'em all out

When they fuck up your story

I tell it the way that you told me

You were born with a face made for a "Missing" sign

But you had somethin' misplaced that you'd spend your life tryna find

I still hear your name from some of the local guys

Said they always placed you for the leavin' type

But I look out

At the wreckage of you

For as long as there's light

For as long as you last

I curse 'em all out

When they fuck up your story

I tell it the way that you told me

I comb the lighthouse

And hope you're there in the mornin'

Burnin' your boat

Back to the ocean

Ah

Ah

Ah

Ah
