about

A loner brooding over emotional disconnection from his lover and desperation in a truthless world finds solace in the simple beauty around him.

lyrics

Baby's lyin' down
She hates the weather now
I'm hangin' out
Down by the balustrade

Like a homemade bomb
Sweatin' hard lemonade
Down, down, down by the balustrade

Where's all the fire?
Burned all away
Like the blistering fate
Of a five-alarm escapade

Strike a match and pray
For the ceiling to drop away
And mark land again
By the end of the day

All the rain can do is fall
And rise again invisible

Where's all the truth?
Someone must o' left it
In a burning phone booth

By the side of a desert highway
Yeah, there had to be one of those in here
Didn't there, babe?

All the rain can do is fall
And rise again invisible

Like jesus on a spring sunday
Too far risen to hear anyone pray
Down, down, down by the balustrade
