In the Life - Your Heart Breaks, Clyde Petersen

I’ve been a trapper, out cruising the tender

The hungry young hustlers in the city of night

I’ve been a terror, a fierce younger lover

I’ve traded my body at times to survive

I’m haunting the hollows

The back alley boroughs

The dark movie theaters and discos and dives

If we hovered so nearly

Together just barely

What wonder we’d find?

Could you count all of those who abandoned the fight

Or list off the names of those who have died

And all of our secrets that we hold between us

All shine so clear in the glowing moonlight

We’re haunting the hollows

The back alley boroughs

Dark movie theaters and discos and dives

If we hovered so nearly

Together just barely

If we hovered so nearly

Together just barely

Felt the wonder between u
