the eucalyptus stretched out along the tracks
going on for miles
and the trains were motionless
pitch black and fast asleep
and on the backroads, a little past midnight
where the air smelled strong and sharp and sweet
all white as a sheet, under the big ol moon
wherever you are, i hope to get there soon
the eucalyptus stretched out along the tracks
possibly endless
and from this point forward
there's no going backroads
and on the backroads, a little past midnight
where the air smelled strong and sharp and sweet
in the passenger seat
15 pounds of trinitrotoluene

i took my glasses off
on the drive out to your house
and everything was soft and round and new
i took my glasses off
on the drive out to your house
and the whole pre-dawn world fell away
when i pull into your driveway
i'm a little turned around
in the golden light i'm drowning
as the sun comes unwound and
comes spillin over me, come spillin over me
come spill
i took my glasses off
on the drive out to your house
and everything, everything was new
i took my glasses off
on the drive out to your house
and the whole world fell away
when i pull into your driveway
i'm a little turned around
in the golden light i'm drowning
as the sun comes unwound and
comes spillin over me, come spilling over me
come spill

seeds came in the mail from holland
and the language on the package is wonderful and strange
all sorts of flowers that grow up from the earth
and goodly colors gloriously arranged
i circled the house and i scattered them around
let the water ink down into the soil
stared a long time at the residue
blood, milk and oil
god the humidity is something
our shirts are soaked clean through
the house is throbbing and the heat keeps coming
and i keep looking at you
and then you're singing in dutch to me
and i recognize the song
it seems so old and so fragile
and i haven't heard it in so long
we may throw the windows open later
we are not as far west as you uppose we are
hot wind coming off the water
the sky gone crazy with stars
while we stay here we imagine we're alive
we see shadows on the walls
there's something waiting for us in the hot, wet air
blod, water and alcohol
jut the old blood
rising up through the wooden floor again
just the old love
asking for more again
