yellow dress that barely covers
messy hair is how i like you better
we’ll keep the bed from getting cold
it’s you and me we’re all alone
who cares if half we have we’ve stole
from shinny glass to rolling stones
leather boots under the dresser
let’s cook now and eat it later
we always laugh with our eyes closed
to shield the sky from broken bones
you’re starting to know all of my jokes
I’d like to try you’d like to smoke
the faster we ran the higher it rose
I’d like to put shells in your new home
You tried my luck and I tried yours
I like you taste can I wear you clothes?
remember the first song that I wrote
bout dripping dreams and bullet holes
if all we’ve got left are those shores
let’s calm our minds and sell our souls
still have to finish up my bowl
carve a fucking knife out of this mighty oak
they said our love was but an hoax
you go and murder them I’ll watch you close
We took to much time to have it all
so that in the end the store was closed

She’s on the other side of the room
Biting her lips humming a tune
I’m just lying there
Fighting the air
The words she speaks
fall on the beat
The curtain closed
no applause
It comes and goes
but so slow
A kiss a blow
calming flow
Falling down head first
in an ocean of booze
waking up with no hair or dignity or shoes
eating cake we didn’t make
glacier water at our gate
I will lie but I won’t fake
Self-help books for mindless fucks
bye bye bye we learned a lot
It comes and goes
but so slow
A kiss a blow
calming flow
raven or crow
who’s to know?
I’ve missed so many
in a row
They told her what’s gonna happen is not on you
You can’t save her from this 21st century blues
They told her you look like bardot used to
She knew her from an old poster in his room
Colouring outside of the lines your drew
Erasing the story of me and you
burying the seeds of what we knew
Hoping for it to grow as something new
