i remember
i remember
driving my mother's car
driving my mother's car
that black and white plymouth
that black and white plymouth
down sprague avenue
down sprague avenue
quick in reverse
quick in reverse
to lay down rubber
to lay down rubber
with enough force
with enough force
to squeal the tires
to make the thing
of my youth then singing
singing down the street
with the fierce traction
with the fierce traction
and all my life
all my life
i remember this
i remember this
the streaks and sound
of that car going nowhere
on sprague avenue
in new york city
in providence rhode island
in los angles california
in los angles california
in jerusalem in paris
looking for that sound
looking for that sound
waiting for it
waiting for it
all my life waiting for it
all my life
in so many cities
so many countries
so many lives
with their gone sounds
with their sounds gone
with their big cars
with their small books
with nothing at all
with nothing again
the silence of avenues
the silance now
howling and the distant
howling and distant
sounds of other drumming
sounds of other drumming
