James Jefferys - Fallen (For the Rest of His Life)

Angelic wanted posters adorn the walls at night
And by the morning all the maggots have made dessert out of their right
Did they catch their man who? Is it even something that they can do?
Does it get to five am, then all the wanted men
Ring releasing bell, be released from their cells?
But you look so good lying there on the grass
The last of many where the many didn’t last
The silver-tipped clouds sulk threats of rain
On the dew-golden mounds as a dear-looking frame
Frame for a scene best remembered by time
I put my camera away
I put my camera away
And I rely on my mind
I put my camera away
And I rely on my mind
The outlines of the buildings smudged a neon blur across my eyes
Hitchhiking through the city, missing the prettiness of night
Falling through vibrations I’m a wanted and unwanted parasite
I’m a wanted and unwanted parasite…
But I’m not sure you have that kind of trust in yourself
Photographs under your feet hold you up and not much else
Hammer the posters into the walls so far
That even if we caught the culprit, he’d be running for the rest of his life
For the rest of his life
