Come along and walk among us
The Polyglots, the Octoroons, the derelict
The ones whose shoes never seem to fit
We who feel the pulse of time
We who thumb our chancy rides
On highways with no lines

Love among the shadowed things

Love among the shadowed things
Bits of broken glass, a flag
Strewn from a window
Girls with braids in their hair
Lifting up their skirts to dare
Boys with their fathers' urges

Love among the shadowed things
Come along and walk among us
Who walk free
Down this dirty road the sign says
'Danger Ahead'
'Danger Ahead'
Lovе among the shadowed things

Love among thе littered lives
Where only the lovers survive
Naked in the snow
"Surprise Inside", a Cracker Jack ring
A thousand licks of my pink confection
Only the lovers survive

Come along and walk among us
When the night falls
Take your pain and scrawl a message on the wall

I am not afraid
It's the land of the brave
Use your pen as revenge
Use your pen as revenge
Use your pen as revenge

Come along and walk among us
Who walk free
Down this dirty road the sign says
'Danger Ahead'
'Danger Ahead'
We who ink our names on arms and
Heads and thighs
We who thumb our chancy rides
On highways with no lines
Highways with no lines
On highways with no lines
