Captain Video and his Video Rangers were drowned on kineoscopes at the bottom of the river I hear a trumpet blowing Taps from the Veterans Affairs- I can't tell from here if it's real, or piped on speakers I know know that I knew then this long run was bound to end On the wrong side of town shouting down the new year under dying stars whose light is just getting here all the bars are closed but I got some rosemary-infused Everclear I'm looking for a place that's quiet, empty, warm and isn't here I just want to speak the truth; I have not been able to.
