Body of Work |
Her story is getting old |
In a night with no company |
Stood up by the door |
So uncomfortably |
Gnawing at her thumb til it bleeds |
She’s in the way |
Bent out of shape |
The money makes her wait |
The waitress looks her way and makes a face |
Staring at the empty plate |
Drift away… |
Shifty and agitated |
Frustration and despair |
Silent phone and lonely rage |
Why isn’t he here |
We had a date… |
For chrissake… |
The corner’s colder than the tomb |
The city air is empty |
I live in god’s country |
I let the devil tempt me |
Drowing in the wishing well |
Surrounded in this living hell |
These people think they’re better than me |
But I’ve got bellies to feed |
That dress is too expensive |
And that movie’s been made |
I do for you |
You do for me |
It’s a mutual exchange |
It fills a desperate need |
3 hours late he finally texted me |
Lost his nerve, maybe next week |
Another deadbeat |
Another drop of poison on my tongue |
Another cloud of smoke filling my lungs |
Rough kisses smudge the paint on my lips |
Hungry stomachs and tight fists |
Broken bones and bruised nerves |
Sounding the alert |
In a body of work |
In a body of work |
They promise her to the dirt |
In her body |
The city is a blister |
Splitting open wide |
The rotted shell of an insect |
Laid out on its side |
A little death |
The hot white spotlight |
Paints the darkness |
With our silhouttes |
I haven’t met the numbers in my head |
And can’t go home yet |
Instead I’m slouched against a post on a fence |
Posing for them that pose a threat and hold me by the neck |
Approaching next the slack jaws and fat rolls |
Who get what they ask for |
The dashboard glows |
I tug at my clothes |
Try to act casual |
Tell them what it costs to rob me |
They look me up and down and then we |
Bargain over parts of my |
Body and mind… seperate |
The hour is getting late |
The lost time |
Dividing dollar signs before my eyes |
I should’ve sized them up better |
But it’s a long drive at the end of an off-night |
And they seemed alright |
I never ask too many questions |
Get in at the intersection to slip from the city’s memory |
And what do you get… |
Another drop of poison on my tongue |
Another cloud of smoke filling my lungs |
Rough kisses smudge the paint on my lips |
Hungry stomachs and tight fists |
Broken bones and bruised nerves |
Sounding the alert |
In a body of work |
In a body of work |
They promise her to the dirt |
In her body |
