Bulb Went Black

You've got your little heart set
Waiting for the dawn
You've been brainstorming
About my place in the sun

And my bulb went black
And a thousand diamondbacks
Came slithering
And humming

We built a little bonfire
By the Two Cent Bridge
You were dreaming of a crossing
I was staring at the edge

And my jaw went slack
And a thousand razorbacks
Came charging
Streaming

I still leave the porch light on
But the curtains had drawn
It's so easy loving nothing
If you feel nothing
When it's gone

Feel it down my back
Like a thousand railroad tracks
Speeding out of town
