  • "Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me"
    You're laying waste to Halloween
    You fucked it friend, it's on its head, it struck the street
    You're in Milwaukee, off your feet

    And at once, I knew I was not magnificent
    Strayed above the highway aisle
    Jagged vacance, thick with ice
    But I could see for miles, miles, miles

    3rd and Lake, it burnt away, the hallway
    Was where we learned to celebrate
    Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me
    That night you played me Lip Parade
    Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
    Saying nothing, that's enough for me

    And at once, I knew I was not magnificent
    Hulled far from the highway aisle
    Jagged vacance, thick with ice
    But I could see for miles, miles, miles

    Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright
    Above my brother, I and tangled spines
    We smoked the screen to make it what it was to be
    Now to know it in my memory

    And at once, I knew I was not magnificent
    High above the highway aisle
    Jagged vacance, thick with ice
    But I could see for miles, miles, miles Writer/s: Justin Deyarmond Edison Vernon
