I tried selling the plan to Nigel 
But he said man I don't know 
I've been feeling kind of worn out kind of low 
I said that's just it my friend this place 
Has the old familiar stink 
Of a slaughterhouse in the summertime 
When the sun is beating hard 
Against the wind 

So we gorged on all the colors 
Then we boarded up the house 
We said we're done this time 
We're done with getting high 
We'll come out of this why shouldn't we 
We've never even really tried 

And in the hollow fading evening 
As the bridges all went down 
We could hear the waters blast across the bay 
For just one night 
Then one year 
Then my friend we'll disappear 
Cause here we're nothing 
And everything reminds you of her 

Then we'll gather all we have 
And find a place and settle down 
We'll look ahead, we'll bury our dead 
Deep in the ground 
And we'll look out every hour 
Maybe we'll see it when it comes 

And in the hollow fading evening 
As the bridges all went down 
We could hear the waters blast across the bay 
For just one night 
Then one year 
Then my friend we'll disappear 
Cause here we're nothing 
And everything reminds you of her
