-- THESE ROADS --

I WOULDN'T EVER
I'D NEVER THINK
I WOULDN'T EVER
I'D NEVER THINK
I WOULDN'T EVER
I'D NEVER THINK
ALL MY LIFE

I'VE DRIVEN THESE ROADS IN
THE SUMMER, I'VE
KILLED MANY THINGS WITH MY
BODY I'M
LEAVING BEHIND ME
THE SOULS OF A THOUSAND AND
ONE SMALL THINGS

I TAKE IN A BREATH AND
I EXALE THE CARBON
THAT BROKE UP WITHIN ME
I'M LEAVING BEHIND METHE SOULS OF A THOUSAND AND ONESMALL THINGS

ALL MY LIFE
I'VE DRIVEN THESE ROADS IN
THE SUMMER I HEARD YOU THERE
BREATHING BESIDE ME I
HEARD SOMEONE SPEAKING
ABOUT ALL THE GIFTS OF THE GARDEN

I DRAPED THEM UPON ME
THE BODIES
THE BODIES OF MANY A SPIRIT
I'M LEAVING BEHIND ME
THE SOULS OF A THOUSAND AND ONE
SMALL THINGS

I WOULDN'T EVER
I'D NEVER THINK
I WOULDN'T EVER
I'D NEVER THINK
I WOULDN'T EVER
I'D NEVER THINK
ALL MY LIFE

EVEN IN MY YOUTH OH
EVEN IN MY YOUTH
I WAS EATING OF THE FUIT
I WAS EATING THE FRUIT OH
I ATE IT ALL UP
I THREW AWAY THE SEEDS

I'VE DRIVEN THESE ROADS IN
THE SUMMER, I'VE
KILLED MANY THINGS WITH MY
BODY I'M
LEAVING BEHIND ME
THE SOULS OF A THOUSAND AND
ONE SMALL THINGS

THE BONES OF THE OLD ONES TURN INTO
THE OIL THAT SHAKES UP THE GROUND IS THERE
WAITING TO BURN UP
TO BURN UP THE WHOLE WORLD AROUND

I AM LIVING THE LIFE OF THE ASH OF THE FIRE
THAT STARTED IN CLEVELAND
THE HUSK OF THE RIND OF
THE FACTORY LINE OF OUR HENRY FORD, OH

EVEN IN MY YOUTH OH
EVEN IN MY YOUTH
I WAS EATING OF THE FUIT
I WAS EATING THE FRUIT OH
I ATE IT ALL UP
I THREW AWAY THE SEEDS
