lyrics

I was on a long drive
and you were on the wrong side of the line
you didn't think it could be
when they came for you baby you sat there silently

That had been a run to beat
came along a loosing streak
dust sliding to a rapping on the pane
teeth shining when you told the man your name

what he said to the back of your head
it sent your teeth to chatter
it filled you with dread
caught you alone he said
all alone alone alone alone in red

They draw a line around my name
and draw it through the legacy of the same
call it evil in the family line
well you sing hallelujah just the way that you smile

I see mama in your hands
counting out the change or tilling the land
in the loving of the crime
when you tell me its all mine

what he said to the back of your head
it sent your teeth to chatter
and it filled you with dread
caught you alone he said
all alone alone alone alone in red

I'll have the wind in my hair
and the motor oil underneath my nails
the neon sign at the pines motel
is a diamond in my mind

I'll have the wind in my hair
and the motor oil underneath my nails
the neon sign at the Pines motel
will be flickering for all time
