Iris Black takes a little while
To gather her thoughts
They get in and out of passing town, 'cause they
They keep wandering off
Joining marching bands and street parades, and
Hiding out in bars
They say we've never been lonely
A day in our lives, and we're
Not about to start
Iris Black takes a moment
To catch her breath
It's shot through on another honeymoon
It's tryin', tryna leave her for dead
It's blowing out somebody's birthday candles, it's
Stealing cigarettes
She says every other day
Something takes my breath away
Then something just brings it back again
Iris Black breaks the windows
Says it keeps her young
See the child actors all flying backwards into
The mid-morning sun
She's tryna find the right words before they can
Get their ice skates on
She says I've stayed on the run for
Just long enough to never find out
To never find out what I've become
