Down To The Wild Stuff Now

by Sea Swallow

/

about

Roads to nowhere, broken wrecks, rainy dawns in borrowed rooms. She is leaving the past behind, paying for miles she can't afford. She is down to the wild stuff now. She is making a fresh start - because what else can she do?

lyrics

She waits in the weeds at the edge of town
Getting out now on her own
'Fore the dark days hunt her down
Destination, still unknown
Is it someone that she can't forget
One that she wished she'd never met
Some stolen love she won't regret
Or the life she hasn't paid for, yet

She's down to the wild stuff now
What else can she do
Not hanging 'round
She knows, deep down
The way you know
There's nothing here for you
Nothing here for you

The past is a thicket, its a desert plain
Bitter sand where nothing blooms
Roads to nowhere, broken wrecks
Rainy dawns in borrowed rooms
The foolishness that glowed so bright
Careless love, in the splendid night
Ashes cold in the morning light
Tell yourself it'll be alright

'Cos you paid out for the ticket
Does anything remain
And when you've paid the bill
Do you have the will
Can you start again?
Can you start again.

Well the Greyhound stops and she climbs aboard
The bleached out pictures in her mind
Pays for the miles she cant afford
Never once does she look behind

She's down to the wild stuff now
What else can she do
Not hanging 'round
She knows, deep down
The way you know
There's nothing here for you
Nothing here for you
