Braking At Green Lights
written by Shosha Capps

pretty swing of green
against a rain-lit sky
I've got poppies on my dashboard
got a trunk full of snow
and a hundred miles of desert to go

hey, boy - you ever prayed for rain?
hey, boy - you ever prayed for rain?

cause I've seen you pull it from the sky
and you've see me boiling up my insides
little molten me, poking at the clouds
I don't wanna be your enemy
when it all starts coming down

I'm just six days from taking your shoes off
I'm two weeks shy of forgetting your name
you touch my sleeve like you've open a bible
I drink your wine til it bruises me

and no, babe, this don't have the urgency
you were looking for
but all you pretty genius boys just turn to
water on my floor
yeah, that's my piano
and that's my kerosene -
sometimes we draw roses
sometimes we're just ripping seams

there's a thread of red
it's a pretty bind
I've got poppies steaming up my windshield
got a boy made of snow
who say he got nowhere to go

he say "hey, girl - you better pray for rain
hey, girl, you better pray for rain
pray for rain
pray for rain..."
