(lyrics spoken over riff above) 

Birmingham 
Just behind the mountain 
Sparse streelamps glow in hot half-moon haze 
Shadows shorten into little black pools that elongate behind 
We walk, talk some, laugh some 
Worked hard, now wired, and hanging out 
I'm curious what you might be all about 
Curious, too, what that dark-shape in the hard shining cruiser might do 
And you have no idea what you're getting  
out of of your own curiosity and tense energy 
Tattoo on chest like the key to the puzzle of your pumping heart 
Wearing your shadows all over your sleeve 
Wearing the role of young upstart 

Chorus:
