No one on the corner had a    quarter for the telephone
Everybody bitchin' there's nothing on the radio

Dreamin? again of a train track ending at the edge of the sea
Big black cloud was low and rolling our way
Dog at the barbed wire barkin? at my buzz-cut friends
Friend with a switch blade shinin? in the summer rain
No one on the corner had a quarter for the telephone
Everybody bitchin? there?s nothing on the radio

Dreamin? again of a city full of fathers and their white clothes
Chatterin? boys and a chicken at the choppin? block
All of us lost at the crosswalk waitin? for the other to go
Didn?t find the field but boy you?re really waterlogged
Someone bet a dollar that their daddy wasn?t comin? home
Everybody bitchin? there?s nothing on the radio

Dreamin? again that it?s freezin? and my mother?s in a flower bed
Long dead rows of daffodils and marigolds
Changin? her face like a shadow on the ground
This is what she said
No one lives forever and the devil never sleeps alone
Everybody bitchin? there?s nothing on the radio
