Deadbeat Water Lyrics
Know how the sprinklers trace great oaks
Boned up again
It's like a curse I hold
Tracing the trim white lines
To the sewers and drains
To the rivers and lakes
To evaporate and return as rain
We barrelled a car across the state
Wore out our tapes
Halted on salted brakes (?)
Between receding lights
The wind clicked through the breeze
The alternator's shot
The dashboard lights shut off
The car was dark
We began to freeze
We drummed our hands on our knees
A tuneless tomb marked for home
Came through rythm free
Boned up again
It's like a curse I hold
Tracing the trim white lines
To the sewers and drains
To the rivers and lakes
To evaporate and return as rain
Wore out our tapes
Halted on salted brakes (?)
Between receding lights
The wind clicked through the breeze
The alternator's shot
The dashboard lights shut off
We began to freeze
We drummed our hands on our knees
A tuneless tomb marked for home
Came through rythm free

Lyrics correction:
know how the sprinkler makes great arcs low and up again? like a curbside ode tracing the trim wet lawns to the sewers and drains to the rivers and lakes to evaporate and return as rain?
we barreled a car across the state wore out our tapes halted on salted roads between receding lakes the wind clipped through the reeds the alternator shot the dashboard light shut off the car was dark we began to freeze we drummed our hands on our knees a tuneless tone marked for home came through rhythm free
