Vestige Gone
It's Carolina, springtime againI'm alright it's the weekend.Warm air night would suffice in the starlightIt's clearing up my sight.I'm hangin' down at the train depot, in Clemson I feel so oldShould I stay or should I go? The Clash was singin' but I didn't know.The station benches look like pews In the church of travelin' I'm confusedWhat was then and what's gonna come? It's the new onesSeen it once, I saw it twiceNow a vestige gone in the nightJesus returned to the modern worldThey told him go back, it's not good for businessYou're runnin' the regulars off get lostWe thought you died, manSaw him there on a Sunday mornAcross from the church he was dancin' up a stormOrange windbreaker and a beard he was tryin' hardLetras de cancionesCollege BoulevardHe had his lawn chair next to the street With an imaginary partner he's moving his feetThe Sunday's best they drove by and laughedAnd then they pressed the gasSeen it once, I saw it twiceNow a vestige gone in the nightMaybe he just jumped on a trainNew Orleans he forgot about his painMet this guy with a tattooed face, he's complainin' about Feeling out of placeMaybe he just jumped in the lakeStrapped himself to a 500 pound weightI don't think he'd do it like thatNever (a cat?) like thatSwear I saw him at the Lincoln TunnelHe stared right at me with eyes like a funnelSuckin' me in to the New York lightsHe's crazy, but into the sightsOf every thing he ever wanted to knowIt was all right there in one big showHe tripped the mundane, he lived it arcaneNever had a use for fame.
