Nothing To See Here

There was no accident

Get back to your cars

Back to the dormant streets

Back in to the bars

In spite of what is obvious

Now don't be confused

These scattered pieces are

Just about to be used

As you were, as you are

Back to your hiding place

There is nothing to see here

Move out, move along

In the unbearable light

There is nothing revealed

There is nothing to see here

Stepping over drunks and lit cigarettes

Another tattoo of a sparrow painted blue on her neck

Seventeen and born nocturnal and armed

Lipstick and maker's mark cover permanent scars

As you were, as you are

Back to your hiding place

There is nothing to see here

Move out, move along

In the unbearable light

Nothing's revealed

There is nothing to see here

Two-headed shadow moving through the train yard

They're making love against graffiti stained walls

No expectations and no regrets

He says, "I do," she says,

"I do too, but just not yet"

There's nothing to see here

High on vanity and Cuban cigars

Chasing an ambulance that rambles

'neath turbulent stars

As you were, as you are

Back to your hiding place

There is nothing to see here

Move out, move along

In the unbearable light

Nothing's revealed

There is nothing to see here

Back to your hiding place

There is nothing to see here

Move out, move along

Up on the crowded stage

No one thing is revealed

There is nothing to see here

There is nothing to see here
