Jon Geihsler - venom

I walk that line
And I was doing just fine
Till late the other night when you did cross my mind
That midnight express
Its whistle warning distress
My eyes stole a glance to where you used to hang your dress
When you lived here
A time that I suppress

Yours is a venom
I just can't shake
Yours is a heart
That I'd love to break
Down by them tracks
We made a promise, made a pact
There are some things you just can't take back

The drive-in shut down
Shortly after you skipped town
The screen it fed our dreams
Till our furies ran them down
Two kids and a set of keys
We used to park under birch trees
The sign is all that's left
Canvas blowing in the breeze
And a concession stand littered with dead leaves

Yours is a venom
I just can't shake
Yours is a heart
That I'd love to break
Up on the screen like Clark and Vivien Leigh
Some things you cannot unsee

The trouble with you
Is trouble is your name
The ghost that you are
Is the ghost that I've made
If this all ends tonight
I'm gonna make a few things right
I'll head down to that drive-in
I wrapped your letters in twine
Bury them good and deep this time
Under those birch trees
And by the light of the moon
I'll take state route 62
Straight through that state line
No, I won't look back this time

Yours is a venom
I just can't shake
Yours is a heart
That I'd love to break
But here at dawn I'll say goodbye and move on
Some things you can't change in me
Some things you won't change in me
