Mainline by Robert S. Dean

Here's a track written in 2013 and recorded in 2019...

The sky was coming down
All around the stars
Footprints in the night
Lighting up the dark
Like a path or a tunnel through the haze
Like an axe coming down to spilt the days
She’s a vision up against the fading light
She’s a ghost in a line of crooked sight

And she don’t pay no mind
And she don’t pay no mind
Moving in and out of time
Baby’s on the mainline

It could have been Detroit
Or a condo by the sea
In the middle of the night
In Kansas City
Like a jet or a rocket to the sun
Like a war that never will be won
I’m on a mission to unwind the crime
I’m a shape shifter running out of time

And she don’t pay no mind
And she don’t pay no mind
Moving in and out of time
Baby’s on the mainline

I’m on a mission to unwind the crime
And she don’t pay no mind
And she don’t pay no mind
Moving in and out of time
Baby’s on the mainline
Baby’s on the mainline
Baby’s on the mainline
Baby’s on the mainline
Baby’s on the mainline
