I Guess We Lost |
| Lists of swinging fists nobody saw |
| That were slicing through air at the foot of a stair of a bar |
| Make beds of busted heads pillowed and puffed |
| In some quiet corner of the emergency ward they left us |
| So we always demurred with an ill-advised word from some enemy’s ill-equipt |
| tongue |
| Sizzled and burned at our backs so we learned to dodge |
| Guess we lost |
| Staring down the cliffs with my crew-cut |
| I had turned twenty-three and believed I was dangerous |
| Lists of swinging hips down in the clubs |
| They were holding a swerve, I am perfectly sure, for us |
| And a photograph says what a photograph is, holy shit were our faces so young |
| All pissed and thin-lipped as you tippled and tripped, it was fun |
| Guess we’re done |
| Lies and flying flies supping up blood |
| We fall down, slidding down, slipping, slamming the ground 'cause we’re fucked |
| And so I went down to the mystic, |
| All headached and heartsick, and lying with the beggars and bums |
| Paid his price and he slurred, |
| «My advice is to turn and to run.» |
| Well I guess we’re dumb |
| So let’s just gather 'round partygoers, that’s if you’re still living |
| And I wasted, washed up, watered down, and not dead, and death wishing |
| And those trumpets won’t blow, the professional driver got lost |
| And all of those rulers and priests, from the highest to least, have been lined |
| up and shot |
| How I pray and I hope 'till it leads to some moment where all of it just blew |
| apart |
| How I wished and I scheemed, and from whisper to scream, |
| How I wanted to just hold your heart |
| In the palm of my hand and just watch as it slows, and it, |
| Stops |
| Call the cops |
| It was star-crossed, we’d gone numb |
| Wasn’t the last fun? |
| Well I guess we lost |
| I guess we’re done |
