// i remember the day we pioneered southwood / and in the conifer plain we were almost dead but our minds were still good and we were just living to stay / while the pack was off screaming and our dark eyes are gleaming / and i promised you baby you wouldn’t have to wait / come on we’re nearing the edge / just ‘cause i’m over my head / know what they couldn’t find us if they wanted to / at a break in this chain we spin on a carousel / when from the base of your brain flew a devilish smile that had stories to tell / and on one autographed page that we kept on believing / left everyone grieving / and we’re squared we’re even on one short seasonal day / come on we’re nearing the edge / just ‘cause i’m over my head / know what its never quite been this quiet here / this one goes out to those girls from fayetteville manlius / please pardon the crane it’s been flying for decades / when the autumn brigade threw uncharted paths through the darkest of shades and i / i’m living to stay / while that pack was off screaming / the pack was off screaming / and it’s over i’m leaving just one reason away / come on we’re nearing the edge / just ‘cause i’m over my head / know what at least we’re home here in the quarry //
