lyrics

I've lost your face
in a whiskey haze
a gossamer web
wrapped around the days
Not quite a handkerchief
but it makes me think
of dust and bullets and hate
a delicate thread of fate

I've lost your face

in a slow disgrace
dark absorbing skin
a gathering cloud, a rising din.

jacknife snap, carve up a lie
I don't want to try

I lost your face

In a stack of suitcases
a drifter's memories
that never took place
A sulphurous cloud arises
and the smell reminds me
of lust and gullies and slate
a desert love cast just too late

jacknife snap, carve up a lie
I don't want to die
