The tiny Key deer is extinct in the wild. Measuring
just two to three feet tall, the remaining few hundred
live at The National Key Deer Refuge in Florida.
Help these animals on the brink of extinction by
donating to FAVOR, P.O. Box 431840 Big Pine Key,
FL 33043, www.favorfloridakeys.com.

lyrics

hang up your burning lights
hang up your miles of wire
hang up your hopes
like arms, or ropes around me

this sequence of streets
revolving doors
always wanting more

hang up your burning lights
hang up your miles of wire
hang up your hopes
like arms or ropes around me

where we move
they surround us
with their dark machinery and guns
will we fall
as the others fell?
with nowhere left to run

as we are driven, driven
into the woods, the woods
into the woods
as we are driven, driven
into the woods, the woods
into the woods
as we are driven, driven
to what remains of the woods
to what remains of the woods

hang up the sterling stars
hang up the miles of pines
hang up the night
with no arms, or roads around me

Through despair towards transcendence each snapshot in time speaks of the romance of heightened experience, pivotal moments, and the rush of love. ... more
