crashing and running
we got away before the car caught on fire
they thought we were dead
we watched them from the hill above
while they searched in earnest

but there was no one~
nothing but flames and smoke

i was there, but not really
my head was away
back to the time of surrender

in her house she surprised me
with lines of distractions
not at all what she appeared,
not at all what we thought

in they came and out they went,
so many patrons
so many sins
so many doers in that world of within
i dug in real deep and thought that again,
i'm dreaming
but i must still pay attention to what i see

the house
the car
the fire
the lines

the little window with the candle that showed my surprise
that race through the hillside on a wild fatal ride
so did we die after all there in the flames?
i only know that i will never again be the same

i noticed that picture, with the signs that we made
i said i didn't know her,
i just don't know her anymore

he is gone to me now
and i guess so is she
but i'm not worried anymore
i've replaced her
with me
