Eyes (Again)

Squint and you can see it
The edge of the blue horizon
Closer, you will feel it
The prairie rave come alive

Dogs finding gold in the grass
And neighbors with neighbors
Who will not turn to ash

Try and take it
My boys and I won’t close our eyes
The party goes on
And all us here, still dancing

Frozen arms outstretched,
Pushing the pigs to the stars
I’m just some rascal
Standing in the snow, but
Baby, here we are
A wave of warm contradictions

Try and take it
My boys and I won’t close our eyes
The party goes on
And all us here, us alley cats

When twilight falls,
and all the sun’s from streetlights,
Honey, the heat is in your hands
And when they fail to take it,
We’ll fix ourselves up nice
When ice melts, we’ll be dancing
