Nose holes caked in black cocainePow! Pow!No one holds a match to your skinNo dupeNo chimingA way off miles offNo needle through a gloveFamine is a tall towerA building left in the nightJesse are you listening?It casts its ruins in shadowsUnder Memphis moonlightJesse are you listening?Six feet of foetusFlung at sparrows in the skyPut yourself in my shoesA kiss, wet, muzzleA clouded eyeNo stars to flush it outFamine is a tall towerA building left in the nightJesse are you listening?It casts its ruins in shadowsUnder Memphis moonlightJesse are you listening?Pow! Pow!In the dreamI am crawling around in my hands and kneessmoothing out the prairieAll the dents and the gougesAnd the winds dying downI lower my headPress my ear to the prairieAlive, I’m the only oneLeft aliveI’m the only oneLeft aliveI’m the only oneLeft aliveAliveI’m the only oneLeft aliveI’m the only oneLeft aliveI’m the only oneLeft alive
