Ask Me About Jon Stross - Thee More Shallows

I take my seat as the scenery flickers on

An exercise tape for the waking dawn

First go the trees changing grey to green behind the wires

And then the sun comes up on a field full of tires

I felt two things at once when I heard the news

I felt upset but I was also confused

How did you see your way free to do what you did?

I guess I still thought of you as that happy kid

But outside the scenery is getting better

Who can be sad in with all this space and time passing by?

I’m on my way to the funeral of you, my childhood brother

And all I can do is look out the window and smile
