Gilbert works alone, late into the night
                                           
Dangling from a freeway overpass

He’s welding rebar and sculpting concrete
                                                   
They’re paving in the gap way out west
                               
Off in the distance the sleeping city shines
                                    
Raises his mask to take a look
                                      
Slips from the perch still holding onto his torch
                                                    
I see him falling just like a burning star

                                   
Out of control mmmmmm mmmmmm
                                                        
And heading way of course mmmmmmm mmmmmm

                                              
Waking up confused in a bed of thorn
                                        
And a world turn upside down

No questionasked no party ever surched 
                                                
Like a blip Gilbert slips into the void
                            
A rustle nearby and vision appears
                                           
Made from saquaro boots and rib

She takes ahold of his prickly hand
          
And together they stand

                                               
Walk on through the ruins of a world 

That lost control...
                  ....

The most beautiful song
