lyrics

Every night
At the same time
Something floods the street
And I start to float down, down, down

And tonight a man stops to ask me
He asks
If I’d like to enroll in his night class
I said how does it feel to get older?
He said it feels like being touched on the shoulder

And then everything changed
The faraway bark of the dogs made my head turn to gold
And behind his back I saw the wild, threshold
Now I could finally climb over, finally climb home
But that’s a tall ladder to be climbing at this time of night

It took one, trip around the sun
And a few swings of the bat
Waiting here in the driveway till the feeling comes back
Disturbed by the peace (disturbed by the peace)
It feels so familiar
Hear you can find out right over there
But that’s a tall tall ladder
That’s a tall ladder to be climbing at this time of night

At the same time
At the same time
Down~~~
Disturbed by the peace hanging around

Falling asleep in the dew
Surrounded by all that there is to do
I was disturbed by the peace (disturbed by the peace)
Tonight I start to talk (tonight I start to talk)
With the words that were written on the back of my neck all along
