 +Wild sage growing in the weeds
  
-and i steal down to business 15-501+Walk down the soft shoulder and I count my steps 
 +Headed vaguely eastward, sun in my eyes 
 +And I lose my footing and I skin my hands breaking my fall 
 +And I laugh to myself and look up at the skies 
 +And then I think I hear angels in my ears 
 +Like marbles being thrown against a mirror
  
-like i had a bounty hunter on my tail+And along the highway

 +I lay down right where I felt cold grass in my face
 +And I hear the traffic like the rhythm of the tides
 +And I stare at the scrape on the heel of my hand
 +Till it doesn't sting so much and until the blood's dried
 +And when somebody asks if I'm okay
 +I don't know what to say
