Lovecraft in Brooklyn |
| It’s going to be too hot to breathe today but everybody’s out here on the |
| streets |
| Somebody’s opened up the fire hydrant, cold water rushing out in sheets |
| Some kid in a Marcus Allen jersey asks me for a cigarette |
| Companionship is where you find it, so I take what I can get |
| Hubcaps on the cars like fun house mirrors |
| Stick to the shadows when I can |
| Lovecraft in Brooklyn |
| When the sun goes down, the armies of the voiceless, several hundred thousand |
| strong |
| Come out without their bandages, their voices raised in song |
| When the streetlights sputter out, they make this awful sizzling sound |
| I cast my gaze toward the pavement, too many blood stains on the ground |
| Rhode Island drops into the ocean |
| No place to call home anymore |
| Lovecraft in Brooklyn |
| Head outside most every day |
| To try to keep the wolves away |
| Imagine nice things I might say |
| If company should come |
| Woke up afraid of my own shadow, I mean, like genuinely afraid |
| Headed for the pawnshop to buy myself a switchblade |
| Someday something’s coming from way out beyond the stars |
| To kill us while we stand here, it’ll store our brains in mason jars |
| And then the girl behind the counter |
| She asks me how I feel today |
| I feel like Lovecraft in Brooklyn |
