Crowd of Drifters

Stephin Merritt

[Verse 1]
Sometimes the road is too long
You meet all kinds of people
Some of them cast no shadow
They have no reflections
Take a look in your photo book
I'm not there anymore

[Chorus]
I was a traveling salesman
I got lost on the backroads
Fell in with a crowd of drifters

[Verse 2]
Sometimes the sun is too bright
And it burns you like acid
You get to love driving at night
The moon is so close you can kiss it
I used to remember you smiling and waving
But I don't think I can anymore

[Chorus]
I was a traveling salesman
I got lost on the backroads
Fell in with a crowd of drifters

[Verse 3]
We come unnoticed at sundown
At the start of a blackout
We set bonfires all over town
And it's over by morning
Sometimes we bring in the rat and the wolf
And sometimes the worm

[Chorus]
I was a traveling salesman
I got lost on the backroads
Fell in with a crowd of drifters
