Another plane went down today in the

Atlantic nine miles off shore

And every single black car that goes by just might be yours

I haven't moved from this spot I sit her watching TV in bed

I wanna see if the crash was sabotage

I wanna know if everyone is dead

I remember when I was fifteen me and Liz would ride around

We liked to smoke in the car in the winter with all the windows rolled down

I had a dream a plane exploded over my lake one afternoon

I still remember the feeling when I woke up

I can't describe the magnitude

SO MANY OTHER DREAMS

The one I had today

You and the Italian woman naked

Your fingers between her legs

She lay like a body in the water

She barely made a sound

She fell as quiet, as quiet, as a leaf falling

To the ground

Meanwhile back on earth I told you to fuck off and go away

I've gotta call my friend who moved from New York to LA

Five days before Christmas last year his girlfriend died in a plane crash

He says the way that it happen is your heart

Is so heavy it rips away upon impact

And then you just bleed inside

You don't even feel a thing

They found her on a hill in Columbia

Intact among the debris

So many other dreams

The ones where I'm on death row

The ones where I don't know why

The ones where my parents drove

I wish I was with you now

Down at the Sixth Street bar

Laughing at the singer

Smoking in the car
