Ashland Lyrics

City litter swirls making the skin of the invisible man

Catching the glow off the ionosphere

Still fighting the cold war

What else is a well-trained soldier to do

Buried in the deep suburban towns?

Come thirty he's finally learning to read on the surface

Instead of sweeping for mines

If I hit the lights just right

Ashland will be green all night

Come circuit splendor

Love comes hidden in friction

Love comes hidden in friction

She found him dead in the brush in a puddle of wax

Broken rib, swimmer's ear, and a hell of a tan

She came on him with gifts in tow of

Ice, isopropyl, and aloe

Cradles him after the fall

With a grace she believes she's got only in dream

Stitches his wings by degrees

Wipes the porridge away from her mouth with her sleeve

Leans with purpose

Gives him her lips divine

And if you hit the lights just right

Ashland will be green all night

And all the past is somehow suddenly justified

If somehow it's funneled up to this

(Ashland will be green all night)

If somehow it's funneled up to this

(Ashland will be green all night)

Love comes hidden in friction

Love comes hidden in friction

Stitches his wings by degrees…
