Thirsty kid jumped out of bed
Sifted through neon trash
Left the house at 5AM
Never did that again
A white sedan, a crash
Mouth tastes no good
Lips like no one's should
Choking during sleep
Next day he found a stream
Bursting at the seams
With something cold and strong and cheap
Got close enough to try
It watered up the eyes
A drop of rain on a dune
Undertow got stronger then
Lost balance, fell right in
All the dams were breaking soon
Over fields and streets
The current carried
Damage was a blur
Battered up and down the coast
Someone stop to make a toast
"Take poison for a cure"
Forecast stayed the same for years
Giant waves of spills and cheers
Tossed the broken bones
Can't remember when it stopped
Guess someone finally called the cops
And said it landed on their home
Now the sun's out all the time
Got to squint to see it shine
Head will always ache
When it's time to check the boxes
Asking to declare your losses
Say some love, some years, some face
