lyrics

And my sunburn healed
But it hadn't when I drove down the coast
And the blood moon revealed
Side streets on the highway to ghosts
But I loved you then like I love you now
And you know Viola that you showed me how
Yes I loved you like I love you now
And the packages arrived
But they hadn't when I drove down the coast
And the smoke revealed
An envelope I didn’t notice you had wrote
But I loved you then like I love you now
And You know Viola that you showed me how
Yes I loved you like I love you now
But I believe in cosmic things
Burning shots and purple rings
Packing up and traveling
Saying “girl, it ain’t no thing”
Saying “girl I got you, it ain’t no thing”
