CHRISTINE Lyrics

as the sun descends too quickly

 behind the distant city

 she will ride under the water

 she will leave her son and daughter

 reduced to lying naked 

 to feed those she holds sacred

 she is bare of clothes and beauty

 on disply in her nudity

 if someone calls her name out

 all she ever hears are cars

 through the window in the bathroom

 through the broken glass and bars

 seeking comfort in the wallet

 where she placed eighty dollars

 when the last one has departed

 she can slide into the darkness

 and slowly down the river

 the current pulls her under

 and it bathes her in its splendor

 is unmoved by her surrender

 and faint through the water

 the lights like brittle stars

 someone called her name out

 she no longer hears the cars

 Christine...
