When I worked in Culver City but lived in Studio City, I'd get on the 405 by 5:30 am to beat traffic. The music comes from those hums. The lyrics are an imagined murder ballad. Somebody called it my masterpiece. But what does he know?

lyrics

In the ink
Before the night dies
Before the amber hour
She’ll rise

Foxglove,
Maybe nightshade
Drawbridges hum,
Under her wheels.

That man,
With his eyes closed
That man,
No more

Oh way oh way ah ho
Oh way oh

An egg and toast
Off the interstate
Sixteen-fifty
Keep the change
Behind the wheel
Behind the wheel
She starts to think
All the things
We’ll never see again
All the things
He’ll never see again
All the things
We’ll never feel again
All the things
He’ll never feel

That man
With his eyes closed
That man
No more

In the ink
After the amber hour
After Venus sleeps
She’ll rise
She’ll rise
