Civil Twilight from Pure Fiction by Spank WIlliams

Winter sure was long and dark,
I felt the freeze in every part,
My fire burned down to the weakest little ember.
You can see right through me, cavin' in,
And I wonder what happened to all my friends.
I been down that hole since last November.

But I can see the river ice a breakin'.
Smash me up and carry me away.
Icy water naked, freezin', shakin'...
With empty hands and debts I just can't pay

Well the sun has turned it up to Civil Twilight
The dark ain't gone, just waitin' in the hall,
So let summer burn it off,
No, I really don't want to talk,
Let's just leave the lights off till the fall.

Biking to the riverside,
The sun so bright nowhere to hide,
We both are plump and pale and scared of others.
I'm 'sposed to have somethin' to say
but my mind is blank, no I'm not okay,
I need meat and fire and beer and all my brothers.

But I can feel my icy heart awaken.
Smash me up and make me wanna stay.
Just give me some air till I stop shakin'.
Man, I really need that endless summer day...

Well the sun has turned it up to Civil Twilight
The dark ain't gone, just waitin' in the hall,
So let summer burn it off,
No, I really don't want to talk,
Let's just leave the lights off till the fall.
I promise I will call you in the fall.
