You fucked it, friend, it's on its head, it struck the street
You're in Milwaukee, off your feet
And at once, I knew I was not magnificent
Strayed above the highway aisle
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
But I could see for miles, miles, miles
Third and Lake, it burnt away, the hallway
Was where we learned to celebrate
Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me
That night you played me "Lip Parade"
Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
Saying nothing, that's enough for me
And at once, I knew I was not magnificent
Hulled far from the highway aisle Jagged vacance, thick with ice But I could see for miles, miles, miles
Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright Above my brother, I, and tangled spines We smoked the screen to make it what it was to be Now, to know it in my memory
And at once, I knew I was not magnificent
High above the highway aisle Jagged vacance, thick with ice But I could see for miles, miles, miles
