song title / lyrics

"her name was misty rains"

you and your neutrons think you're the bomb,
as she fades out, in the chamber of wines
yes her name was misty rains, but
she's gone, and then there were nine.

i feel each snowflake that falls on me,
but i don't miss her at all
god knows, i have time to shred,
so i guess i'm still hoping she'll call.

but ask the song birds up on high
"who gets the last meow?"
alas, they cannot guess in french
so this'll have to do for now.

modern-day saints shovel snow,
and the sinners' sidewalks shrink-
likewise, i shed some sandy feet karma
as i retreat to the sink

but it's all just darts in the river,
i'm off now to the equator.
a daydreamer, driving in the morning-
when the streets are straighter.
