An Incident on the Edge of Town

There is an incident on the edge of town All the local lawnmowers drown it out Brown paper bags barricade the drain White feathers turn grey in the rain It doesn't take a full room to be crowded out I saw something on the green Something caught beneath the wheels And a body smiling shouts One more in and one more out Looking back on all those teenage nights Two of us the small ones forced to fight Walking home from school, black hair on the grass She doesn't say a word, she only runs as fast as she can It doesn't take a full room to be crowded out It doesn't take a full moon to act insane I saw something on the green Something caught beneath the wheels And a body smiling shouts One more in and one more out One more in and one more out One more in and one more out One more in and one more out One more in and one more out In the passenger seat there's a hanging head As though it's attached to a taught and jerking thread There's a shop on route that sells mannequins I will take one home just to eat with it
