I Shot An Arrow

(album: Big Dark Love - 2015)

Tires burning in the backyard
Smoke rising on the plains
Girl's singing that stupid song again
The thunder makes an awful din
Street fills in like a tomb
Folks seek shelter
But there's no room

I had a dream too big for the world

Get me out of here
Take me to the edge of town
To the underground
It can't be that far
Get me out of here
Doesn't matter where
I don't care
Anywhere but here

The food lines wind and shiver and shake
What's it gonna take to get by
And this weave of events
Fools attribute to fate is like calling bones meat
'cause they're on your plate
It's just a lie

I shot an arrow into the dark
I shot an arrow that missed its mark
I shot an arrow!
