Bloodied Up in a Bar Fight |
It’s a new kind of empty, a beach town in the fall. |
It’s new kind of silent, counting cracks in the wall. |
There’s no one left to |
call. |
I’m locked in a jail cell. |
It’s a quarter past three. |
I can make out the weather on the lobby TV. |
It’s gonna rain this week. |
But I’m a pair of black eyes |
That just got my ass kicked in the glow of an exit sign. |
The cops got some friendly advice, |
Says, «You don’t want problems with the crew that runs with those guys.» |
Bloodied up in a bar fight. |
No one’s pressing charges. |
I should get out by ten. |
The bartender said I was defending a friend. |
Yea, they jumped a guy I paint |
houses with. |
The cops all got questions — is there somewhere you could stay? |
I wore out my welcome at mom’s place in May. |
I don’t know what she’d say. |
And I don’t talk to my sister much. |
I think she’s sick of my shit. |
She lives up in Boston now. |
Has a life with her husband and kid. |
I try not to fuck with it. |
But I’m just a pair of black eyes |
That just got my ass kicked in the glow of an exit sign. |
The cops got some friendly advice, |
Says, «I would skip town before I ran back into those guys.» |
Bloodied up in a bar fight. |
I can’t bother Mom. |
I can’t bother Catherine. |
I can’t breathe through my nose. |
I think that it might be broken. |
I’m mastering the art of disappearing in the middle of the night. |
Bloodied up in a bar fight. |
