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
