lyrics

i'd been mad at you about a year i guess
it could have been longer though, i have to confess
cause it's hard to remember
don't kick up embers

south of the beltway, west of the sun
there's only dead air, are we still having fun?
what are you looking for?
and why do you say that there has to be more?

well, you do what you like and I'll sleep around
i see all your old stuff at the lost and found
but south of the beltway when i tune it on in
your memory grows heavy on my skin

smoking, your eyes wet, on riverside drive
you made yourself nervous and you wanted to slide
you couldn't say or you didn't know
dead air on the radio

but you've got in your head that it's playing our song
i haven't the heart to tell you you're wrong
raise your arms in pantomime
and the sound fills the air and the sound fills up time

well, you do what you like and i'll try to forget
you vanish into yourself and i into regret
but inside the dead air when i tune it on in
your memory grows heavy on my skin
