these tombs are kind of gaudy
you were smart to burn your body
you found a nice tree to lay upon
the old gang they send their love to you
a couple of them are having a kid or two
their lives just keep building on and building on
i was falling asleep in my car when
i thought i heard your voice on npr again
yet you're silent when i visit you
you couldn't hold a tune before you were gone
now you're haunting rhythms in my songs
even last week even yesterday and now
even now you are something to talk about
even after the anecdote is taken out
even when you left town
your spirit's a spray can street art
tagging the city's broken heart
even yesterday even now
i'll cut a couple of holes in my sheets
if you promise to come and visit me
hell you can even stay
i'm always looking around for your finger prints
there's a lot of places you have been
even last week even yesterday and now
even now you are something to talk about
even after the anecdote is taken out
even when you left town
