lyrics

I need a cigarette and a raincoat and a roadtrip to the west coast
'cause I've been drowning in the bummers of hot, heavy summers,
and buskers full of covers on the square
I need to drink from this flask,
to take off this mask that I wear in the bar rooms and rodeos
'cause these flickering lights that say, "Music Tonight!"
sound so vague and insincere

I need a long kiss at sunset
with hair matted in sweat
I need a long hike up the deep side
of a mountain that ain't got a name

I need a deep sleep, need a big dream
one with new colours that I ain't seen
I need to feel your soft, silky skin like milk in the bowl
when I wake in your arms
I need to scream loud where the echo sounds
like a scream back from the storm clouds
God damn, I need to sing out a song that ain't never been sung

I need a long kiss at sunset
with hair matted in sweat
I need a long hike up the deep side
of a mountain that ain't got a name

I need to hold you 'till the deep hue of the sunset explodes
like a nuclear blast
and I ask you one last question
it's wordless
and feels like ice in my lungs

I need a heavy rain
and a warm gin
and your chicken scratch love
and a good pen

I need a heavy rain
and a warm gin
and your chicken scratch love
every now and then, I need a good pen
