Fractured Air

From the delta to the plains
Storms touching down again
Devil's hiding in the house
Angel's in the rainCorrugated lovers swinging on a wire
Switching on and off the breakers
On a night like this
No one should be aloneIn the fractured air
Misfired from a distress flare
All the while searchlights reconcile
Cut their losses and runClinging to the rooftop
Losing track of days
Devil's up in the attic
And angel's lost her wayMust've mis-dialed the number
Or the telephone's died
Lost you in the darkness and never heard back
Dropped out from the night like a stoneFalling from the fractured air
Misfired like a distress flare
All the while searchlights reconcile
Cut the losses and run
