(Pow! Pow!) (Pow! Pow!) Nose holes caked in black cocaine (pow! Pow!) No one holds a match to your skin (pow! Pow!) No dupe, no chiming, a way off miles off No needle through a glove (Pow! Pow!) Famine is a tall, tall tower A building left in the night Jesse, are you listening? It casts its ruins in shadows Under memphis moonlight Jesse are you listening? (Pow! Pow!) (Pow! Pow!) Six feet of foetus flung at sparrows in the sky Put yourself in my shoes A kiss, wet, muzzle, a clouded eye No stars to flush it out Famine is a tall, tall tower A building left in the night Jesse, are you listening? It casts its ruins in shadows Under memphis moonlight Jesse, are you listening? (Pow! Pow!) (Pow! Pow!) In the dream I am crawling around on my hands and knees Smoothing out the prairie All the dents and the gouges and the winds dying down I lower my head, press my ear to the prairie Alive I'm the only one left alive I'm the only one left alive I'm the only one left alive Alive I'm the only one left alive I'm the only one left alive I'm the only one left alive
