Lyrics

Shot down highway nine
I'm lost and waiting on the sidelines
Your colours come in red, blue, black and white
I'm tracing edges thick and undefined
You say it's just your good self, drawing lines
Making maps so I know how to find
A riverstone that skims across the sky
I know you like the palm of your hand knows mine.

Shot down baby I call you on the telephone
Said 'let go heavy, this thing, it feels incredible'
I lock up, baby, at sight of what's predictable,
I shot down, baby, I died.

Driving to your rivertown, turn right
Its heavy stones, they call you in the night
You'd float me down a river, cold and white
Carry me through town, in the dead of night
Leaving stones on sides of roads, on plains
You get cold and distant and you wait for change
But change don't rain and the riverstones whine
Waiting for the water in the dead of the night.

Shot down baby I call you on the telephone
Said 'let go heavy, this thing, it feels incredible'
I lock up, baby, at sight of what's predictable,
I shot down, baby, I died.
