lyrics

Gimme a rented thunderstorm
High above Overdrive Avenue
Gimme fisticuffs with my
gentleman nemesis too
Gimme a spotlight shot
Of my loneliness on tape
Gimme medicine whispers
And footprints without brakes

I come for the words
If the words don't come to me
I wait at the light all night
After the light turns green
Even if they never show up
Until who don’t know when
Waiting on words to come,
Honey, that’s the discipline

Gimme grey, it knows my avenue
Hides behind every closed eyelid
Gimme half for the hound downtown
Contract the other half out for bid
Gimme some instant of help
To linger the everlasting year
Gimme hopeless seas and free
Cinema wives from all their fear

Gimme any artificial rockin'
I'll pour it clean over the side
Gimme these unfinished bells
And shameless Oklahoma pride
Gimme ways to reconsider our days
As I cannot become my church
Gimme heaven with the dudes
For every pretty pony on a perch
