no more grand schemes. no more movie scenes. no more pleasant dreams. no more anecdotes. no more gold on the coast. no more me. no more you. no more downed plane. no more spin game. no more mining the vein. no more pride parade. no more drive all night. no more come wait inside. no more asleep on the ropes. no more seats ringside. you held the secret, i held the line. replaced my lungs with a turbine. ran my nerves down to the wire, thinking all the while maybe i'd catch fire. no more closed book. no more secret file. no more jury trial. no more you did as told. blood money in an old footlocker. p.o. boxes leave a breadcrumb trail. no more red tape, no more threats to make. a twelve-gauge follow-through, two barrels just for you. you think you can stop the past from repeating, but don't forget that history is as real as now to those it claimed defeated.
