Free The Pterodactyl 3

Now the rain was laced with pity

The beaches met the coastal roads

And street lamps lead them blind into the cities fast asleep

The wind carried the curses

Of collisions in the darkness

And the accidental crunch of devil's purses underfoot

I was thinking who out of us all I thought would grow up

And just how right and wrong I'd been in equal measure

She is buried treasure, she is bored

Butterflies will die before the end of summer years

And apparently she's just ignoring them

A friend, he put it simply "If I understood, then I could understand"

"If I understood, then I could understand"

Those blue eyes grow ageless

The sky feels contagious

When the stars recall spots on those teenagers faces

Who come down here after dark

To learn how to fall apart

To dance with the devil until they become free of God's will again

We have surnames for the taking

But the girls don't understand the men

With guilt the shape of local police stations and the last train home

She settled down and said "goodnight" and never said "goodnight"

And went out in a blaze of glory in a bar-room full of history, hope and pity

If I understood, then I could understand

If I understood, then I could understand

Those blue eyes grow ageless

The sky feels contagious

When the stars recall spots on those teenagers faces

Who come down here after dark

To learn how to fall apart

To dance with the devil until they become free of God's will again

Those blue eyes grow ageless

The sky feels contagious

If you were the stars that means I was the places that we went.
