Letra de Snow White In Appalachia
Half life She moves in a half life ImperfectFrom her place on the stairs Or sat in the backseat Sometimes you're only a passenger In the time of your lifeAnd there's snow on the mattress Blown in from the doorway It would take pack mules and provisions To get out aliveThere were concerts and car crashes There were kids she'd attended And discreet indiscretions For which she'd once made amendsAnd there's ice on the windshield And the wipers are wasted And the metal is flying Between her and her friendsShe'd abandoned them there In the hills of Appalachia She threw off the sandbags To lighten the loadAs soon as the sun rose The keys were in the ignition Following the tyre tracks Of the truck sanding the roadThere had to be drugs Running through the girl's body There had to be drugs And they too had a nameAnd the adrenalin rush Had left her exhausted When under the blue sky Nothing need be explainedAnd there is no maker Just inexhaustible indifference And there's comfort in that So you feel unafraidAnd the radio falls silent But for short bursts of static And she sleeps in a house That once too had a name
