Paroles de Going To Norwalk

at one thirty on a thursday night

I saw a pair of raccoons heading to the gutter

they stopped at the storm drain
their tails hung down and out of sight

they looked up at me

their eyes were shining

I thought of you



and I can't stand the way the moon expands and fills out

the corners of your california sky

I can't stand it



the old buildings stood tall against the sky
looked like you

I stopped moving momentarily



the world will

stand still on nights like these

without any kind of warning

and I can't stand it.
