lyrics

ROYAL QUIET DELUXE

I-64 goes from someplace bad
To someplace better
Better ‘cause it’s far
Far away from where I met her
And because it’s unknown

Life is worth nothing
All of my love is in a hole
And is dead
There is no heaven for love
It simply dies

The hills of West Virginia
Offer respite for my eyes
But like Utah, and all things lovely
The loveliness is lies

We learn that she who screams the loudest
Makes he who fears most run
And who is ruled by fear
Is oft ignored by fun

Still there is
A way to be
If we die many times
Then let death come to me

This is the last song of its kind.
Now you can be.
Now you can be all that all your weakest love can find
Ain’t it the best?
Ain’t it the best?
