letra de nothing in this world ever stays still - allegra krieger

cruising around it’s one constant u-turn
pedestrians crossing without concern
a billboard advertising dying dreams
the real estate game
a selfhood to glean
long beach, california, working at a sports bar
watching the game, red teams winning so far
everyone’s getting p-ssed off and drunk
i’m taking a smoke break, leaning on the trunk
of a coastal oak growing out of the sidewalk
watching coastal smoke coming out of the hills
everything’s leaving just as it’s coming in
nothing in this world ever stays still
three missed calls from my malibu pimp
i was writing down an order for boom boom shrimp
man, i gotta get clean when i get home
gonna wash the sheets and turn off the phone
at times i’m confused, at times confounded
sometimes alone, sometimes surrounded
watching the tide roll in from the unknown
while gnawing at some dead animal’s bones
and a brief fulfillment sated the moment
and a brief but brilliant sun touched the hills
everything’s leaving just as it’s coming in
nothing in this world ever stays still
i watched my hopefulness seep out your skin
just as i learned to start loving again
layers of pain give the landscape some depth
when you feel like heaven, you’re closer to death
and if you feel like dancing you must let it out
no room for questions, no room for doubt
watching them lower your love in the grave
nothing to cling to, no money to save
as a fragile narrow creek carves the stone
an agile sparrow crosses the hill
everything’s leaving just as it’s coming in
nothing in this world ever stays still
