GHOST WIRING
Neko Case 2002

WHAT HAPPENS AT HOME SINCE I'VE GONE AWAY?
NEEDLES DROP, SOFT AND SHARP
AND THE LEAVES GENTLY SWAY
LOW CEILING MOVES IN AND CIRCLES THE BAY
A SOUND THAT'S COUNTED SO MANY DAYS
SO MANY DAYS

WET SHOES DRAG YOU OFF TO SCHOOL, SHOES THAT NEVER DRY
CROWS CURSE AND BEAT THEIR WINGS
WHY CAN'T YOU BE SMARTER GIRL?
LIFT UP YOUR FACE
DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR YOURSELF, HIGHWAYS WAIT FOR YOU

YOUR GHOST IS A LIGHTSHOW AT NIGHT
ON THE GRAND COULEE DAM
THE RIVER IS WATCHING YOU, AT THE DRIVE-IN TONIGHT
WHO DO THEY COMFORT NOW?
SINCE I'VE GONE AWAY
