The Rockaways |
| Scared of everything |
| Everything’s on blast |
| Never travel light |
| I carry the past |
| In an armored car |
| That’s my skeleton |
| Worship one idea |
| Like a superfan |
| In a gallery |
| With a slanted view |
| There’s a book signing |
| Dystopian haikus |
| As they’re read out loud |
| Under Edison lights |
| Makes me scratch my head |
| And think of simpler times |
| Borrowed a car for the day |
| We drove it out to The Rockaways |
| And you went swimming |
| I watched you swimming |
| I’m made of money now |
| There’s nothing I want |
| Except expensive wine |
| To watch the rocket launch |
| We’ll climb up on the roof |
| And sit in plastic chairs |
| Watch it accelerate |
| Until it disappears |
| Just like your goodbye voice |
| Trailing off down the hall |
| I love you, baby |
| I’ll be back in one hour |
| You’ll try and smile then |
| Sometimes it doesn’t stick |
| I’ll help you tune it out |
| I’ll help you reminisce |
| Borrowed a car for the day |
| Filled it up with some friends I’d made |
| And they went dancing |
| I watched them dancing |
| Don’t feel badly |
| I’m barely angry |
| It’s not too much to contain |
| Always knew that |
| It’d probably happen |
| We’d put these memories to shame |
| Borrowed a car for the day |
| Gassed it up for our getaway |
| Said you’d be waiting |
| I left you waiting |
