"Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me"

You're laying waste to Halloween

You fucked it, friend, it's on its head, it struck the street

You're in Milwaukee, off your feet

And at once, I knew

I was not magnificent

Strayed above the highway aisle

Jagged vacance, thick with ice

But I could see for miles, miles, miles

Third and Lake, it burnt away, the hallway

Was where we learned to celebrate

Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me

That night you played me "Lip Parade"

Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree

Saying nothing, that's enough for me

And at once, I knew

I was not magnificent

Hulled far from the highway aisle

Jagged vacance, thick with ice

But I could see for miles, miles, miles

Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright

Above my brother, I, and tangled spines

We smoked the screen to make it what it was to be

Now, to know it in my memory

And at once, I knew

I was not magnificent

High above the highway aisle

Jagged vacance, thick with ice

But I could see for miles, miles, miles
