lyrics

Into the snow and the ash
of the static in the TV,
you wanted me to disappear.
You said, I could make this easy,
if I could not be around every corner,
at the far seat of every bar,
in the wings of all your stages,
in the trunks of all your cars.

Fifteen meters down
and five miles around,
they had to drain every drop
when the John Doe was found.
He’d been floating there a week –
a week of coffee and of tea,
a week of brushing teeth,
and every dish in DC
permeated with you,
like light trapped in a cloud.
Whoever it is you were
before your watery shroud,
they know you now.
They know you now.
They know you now.
They know you now.

They know you now.
They know you now.
