Everyone who's drinking, is already drunk or sleepingEveryone who isn't is just too political to talk toAnother summer evening and the city's barely breathing Just ain't the sameJust ain't the same without youThere ain't no magic in materials, magic's in our wordsThat we whisper in each others ears to make diamonds out of dirtThere ain't no glory in the silken things, glory's in the hurtAnd can split your skin from end to end down the center of the earthI said everyone who's drinking, is already drunk or sleepingEveryone who isn't is just too political to talk toAnother summer evening and the city's barely breathing Just ain't the sameJust ain't the same without youI wasn't joking about my burial, the backyard's where I'd preferBut my landlord wouldn't like that, I gotta own a backyard firstSo I keep singing you'll these spirituals, and pray it lifts the curseIt keeps me chasing ghosts of dreams from funerals to birth, in reverseOh, in reverse.Everyone who's drinking, is already drunk or sleepingEveryone who isn't is just too political to talk toAnother summer evening and the city's barely breathing Just ain't the sameJust ain't the same without you.Without you.
