Poison Oak |
Poison Oak some boyhood bravery. |
when the telephone was a tin can on a string. |
and I fell asleep with you still talking to me. |
you said you weren’t afraid to die. |
In polaroids you were dressed in women’s clothes. |
were you made ashamed whyd you lock them in the drawer. |
And I don’t think that I ever loved you more. |
Than when you turned away. |
When you slammed the door. |
When you stole the car drove towards Mexico. |
And you wrote bad checks just to fill your arm. |
I was young then I still believed in war. |
But let the poets cry themselves to sleep. |
and all their tearful words could turn back into steam. |
me Im a single cell on a serpants tongue. |
and theres a muddy field where a garden was |
and I’m glad you got away. |
but I’m still stuck out hear. |
my clothes are soaking wet from your brothers tears. |
And I never thought this life was possible. |
You’re the yellow bird that I’ve been waiting for. |
The end of paralysis I was a statuette |
Now I’m drunk as hell on a piano bench, |
And when I press the keys it all gets reversed. |
The sound of lonliness makes me happier. |
