about

A song about big scary changes in the life of my friend Miguel

lyrics

You're shipping all your things across the states
A dozen brown boxes marked fragile, a couple crates
some packing tape
You're shipping all your things across the states
To meet their fate
Your personal items, a frightened and silent wait
I hope they're safe

When the big truck comes to pick them up
And the big truck slows to put them down
When the dark walls shake at every bump
At the turns unlearned in foreign towns

Your life is contained in containers to small for it
The remains of your heart and brains after judgment day
By reprobates
And you're crossing your fingers to linger, to hesitate
But don't be late
The meter is minding, and soon you may never make
an honest mate

When the big truck comes to pick you up
And the big truck slows to put you down
When your heart walls shake at every touch
At the turns unlearned on hallowed grounds

You're shipping all your things across the states
You're shipping all your things across the states

You're only alive 'cause the driver's a heavyweight
You're only alive when saliva and metadate
Keep you awake
