Asphalt Lyrics

Do you remember the asphalt

Where gray turned into white

We shared a sidewalk

Half of my life

Can you tell I've been waiting

Can you tell I've been waiting here all night

To tell you the same thing

I have a thousand times

Beneath the breathing

In plastic chairs

Something was breeding

In the damp stale air

I live on salt and sugar

Saccharine's between my bones

You know I'm no sharp shooter

And I always stumble home

I could swear every look was heaven sent

The heat of the macadam

Melting tar between the cracks

Observing every atom

But I could never take it back

Beneath the breathing

In plastic chairs

Something was breeding

In the damp stale air

I dream of Jeanie

With the light brown hair

Borne like a vapor

On the summer air
