Lyrics   status: confirmed

Lights on the stones on backed up drain
Warped lovers loosed on languid stain
We've come together to gather stars
Shooting up stones our powdered hearts

Dead or alive, there's danger
The Dead are alright with me
We're not gonna run away
We're not gonna leave you stranger
Turn the light on, yr lonely love

Camera on the haunted stones
Bloodshed a gentle painted score
Notes dance in ink across yr skin
Hieroglyphic lover, nature friend

Dead or alive, there's danger
The Dead are alright with me
We're not gonna run away
We're not gonna leave you stranger
Turn the light on, yr lonely love

NOTES:

• Debuted at a secret gig in November '03, premiering the forthcoming 'Nurse' material. Working title was "CITY GRASS" (or possibly "CITY GAS"). Performed acoustically at the Bridge Benefit in 2004 (dedicated to Jerry Garcia both nights, indicating the song's subject matter -- 'the Dead are alright w/ me'). Lee sings w/ Thurston on the chorus.
