Acid Rain - Robert DeLong

Wanted it to

Feel the same way

As the first time

As the first time

But the feeling

Slipped away

To red green blue

And then I saw you

In the airport

It’s the same thing

As the first time

As the first time

I watched the tiles

Slip away

Into the restroom

Then I saw you

Wanted you to

Glimpse the same things

That my eyes saw

That my mind saw

But the vision

Slipped away

Into nothing

Ran down my brain stem

And out my fingers

I felt the cold air

And touched your black hair

The rush of colors

Acid rain

The colors screened you

And then I saw through

The colors screened you

And then I saw through

The colors screened you

And then I saw through

Follow the signs

Through the desert

Through the desert

To the other side

One cycle later

I met my savior

In the arches

In the forest

Is it trees or twilight?

Can’t ascertain

I was in the taproom

And then I saw you

Then I was running

Pushing air in my lungs

Feeling the light

Bounce off the moon from the sun

And slip into nothing

Into nothing

Feel it slip away

Slip away, slip away

Slip away, slip away

Feel it slip away

Slip away, slip away

Slip away, slip away
