Findlay, Ohio 1968 |
| Findlay Ohio, 1968, poking hot tar bubbles |
| With a stick on the driveway |
| Grammy’s a Republican, Nixon is her man |
| In 2 years time, Ohio will be up in flames |
| I like the smell of the trash and leaves |
| Burning in the cans |
| Roger is the boy next door he’s a wanderer, he starts |
| With his hands… |
| Cathy’s the outcast we’re nice but we steer clear |
| Everyone says watch out for her mom |
| The word is she’s crazy she’s always drinking beer |
| Cathy’s dad never came back from Vietnam |
| I like the smell of the trash and leaves burning in the cans |
| Roger is the boy next door he’s a wanderer |
| He starts by holding my hand |
| Scared, curious, raised up nice, but furious |
| What happens to a fence-scaling girl |
| If you catch your pants on top, first you’re stuck and then you drop |
| You’ll look back and first you feel the thrill |
| And then… |
| I wasn’t into poetry, but Sexton changed all that |
| «The awful Rowing» past in tow and sinking slowly |
| Listless and listing the things that I leave behind, |
| So unkind, the pull of history |
| We drove in a station wagon, wheels soft slapping |
| Trenton on the turnpike |
| The smell of the refineries rushes back to me |
| And how I loved the lights |
| Scared but curious, raised up right but furious |
| What happens to a fence-scaling girl |
| If you catch your pants on top, first you’re stuck and then you drop |
| You’ll look back and first you’ll feel the thrill |
