lyrics

five miles from all the half smiles
stands our happy little home
and seasons give us reasons
like a metronome
so how could you feel so lonely
when you are never alone?

well, I don't know why
but I had to go and
take the bus to
north of Portland

I feel there's something
or someone missing
so I'll be running these crooked circles
like a wayward satellite
till I find a home

these walls smell like moth balls
from well before your birth
and bones that gave you your bones
vibrate in the earth
so we pray for your safe return
for whatever that's worth

the night sings in colored lightnings
blue and gold and grey
the voices in these frozen hills
have said all they will say
so I paid another bus to
push those hills away

my little cherub
my little charmer
will you help me off with
this body armor?

well, I had a good time
think I hit the mother lode
finally found my doppelganger
where I left him by the side
of a crooked road
