LYRICS
You see shapes inside the paintings 
but all I see is black
at a chapel here in Houston 
where we’re standing back to back 
Questions here are useless
nothing answers back 
But I can’t stop my mind from trying 
all it wants to know is why 
 
Other people’s prayers
hanging in the air 
between you and me and everything 
we’ve kept unsaid so carefully
I don’t want to care so much
for someone I can barely see
But I can’t stop my body pining  
all it wants to do is try 
 
Me without a hill to die on 
You without a ring to kiss 
With nightfall comes that fool Orion
who never swings so can’t be missed
 
A machine with no sense is just a wheel to spin
For all we try to invent we wind up here again 

Me without a hill to die on 
guess I’ll have to heal from this 
Pool cue and a pair of pythons
make my own caduceus 
 
We seem to be ending 
before we begin 
It’s like losing the feeling 
in a phantom limb  




We choose which fools 
to suffer
And they choose 
to suffer us

We lose all use of  
color
Just water 
on the brush

But you and me 
we could be
cadmium 
cadmium red 
cadmium 
cadmium red
