Gilbert works alone, late into the night
|
Dangling from a free way overpass
|
He's welding rebar and sculpting concrete
|
They're paving in the gap way out west
|
In off in the distance, the sleepy city shines
|
He raises his mask to take a look
|
Slip from the perch, still holding onto his torch
|
I see him falling just like a burning star
|
Out of control
|
And went drifting way off course
|
And went drifting way off course
|
Waking up confused in a bed of thorn
|
And a world turns upside down
|
No questions asked, no party ever searched
|
Like a blip gilbert slips into a void
|
A rustle nearby then a vision appears
|
Made from saguaro boots and rib
|
Grabs a hold of this prickly hand
|
And together they stand
|
Walk on through the ruins of a world
|
That lost control
|
And went way off course
|
|
