In the End

In the end we will get back to the beginning
In the end we will get back to the start
In the end when the red clouds are thinning
Nothing’s left but a snake, and a girl, and a car

The clouds… they flickered on and off
The snake… it was there all along
The girl… we found in the debris
The car… the ignition won’t start

In the end it all looked the same
Rangoon, Portland, Main
In the end our words couldn’t save us
Though we ran at the mouth and bled at the seams

In the end we were back at the beginning
In the end we were back at the start
In the end it was perfect timing
A girl and a car that won’t start
