Cloud Blood

i've been wondering what you meant when you asked
 do you have a light?
 i've been wondering where you went when you left
 that party that night
 cloud blood smudge smeared on the sky
 it's dawn's roadkill
 i've been driving since midnight
 and i'm driving still
 stop on the top of the ridge just to feel the wind
 on my rand mcnally
 then i feel the air go cold as i drift in
 to the first blue of the valley
 you're wondering how far down you are
 on my call back list
 but you don't realize everytime i find i'm by a phone
 the landscape shifts
 every other song someone's trying to write angels
 into the wrold
 every grace, every ace every near miss
 every decent kiss by a pretty girl
 she was an angel
 she looked like an angel
 and all of the angels did sing
 the angels were watching
 and the angels were listening
 and the angels were on hand
 to stand in for everything
 you can call it magic
 when a man pulls a rabbit out of a hat
 but the reason i don't call is cuz i wonder
 if there isn't a better word than that
 and you can call me crazy
 but i think you're as lazy
 as white paint on a wall
 and i know you'll only speak to me in dial tones
 if i call
 it's been way too long
 since i've been behind the wheel
 headlights guiding me through the dark i feel
 dry eyed trying hard to resist
 sleep's first kill
 everytime i have time to think
 i think of this
