Waiting for the burning rain

Orange siding lining the lane

Small town sunset down the drain

Soothed by dusk but tired from pain

Zero-point energy and thumbtacks

I tip-tap-toed the path straight through

Woke up with warmth on me

I paid to play but overstayed (Overstayed, overstayed)

Left alone, but I had shade

Prey on prayer and palisade

Waiting on the spoils to fade (Waiting on the spoils to fade)

The light is orange, my bed is made

Dust dragged down the driveway

Oh, the clunk of garbage cans in the AM

Lead beyond the light and shade

Plenty prayer and palisade (Plenty prayer and palisade)
