it shined on me
and it's the sun rays
soil this dark
you'll never see the grass stains
closer now
lend the earth an ear
hear the ocean of your own fear

you're such a good listener
one down
three billion to go

blasted sharp
like gunning for an ash tray
gone plant food
ester of me the nitrate
a loan to live the life down here
short a soul
to sold dried tears

you're such a good listener
one down
three billion to go

as Creve Coeur twists up into the sky
Macomb flakes out
I want to be a city
superficial
and I'm still here
...
just stay the fuck out

you're such a good listener
one down
three billion to go

rough mix of my 2015 RPM Challenge album 80 Dollars And No Sense

Since the original demo of this song is still up, I actually used its lyrics page when re-recording it!
