Lyrics
The Zastava's got a new crack in the varnish
Right where your thumb used to rest in '96.
I tune the low string 'til it’s honest,
A sound you wouldn't know, a ghost I have to fix.

Is it still the thing you understood?
[Verse 2]
Mama pulled the mint out by the roots last summer,
Said, "It grows too wild, it's not from this damn ground."

Is that a memory I'm not allowed to break?
[Outro]
On Gravois Avenue, a new song for you.
It's a lonely hum, but it'll have to do.
