Oh, MichelleI'm coming down to see youThe night is bruised black swelling and gold and greenNow, I was in bed, but I had the dream againWhere I drive us off the cliff into the ravineAnd the car was Shelby blueBlue like the one in the photo of your father and youBlue like the label on the beer you always chooseBlue like me and you, MichelleOh, MichelleI went looking for the riverBut I only made it to the railroad bedThere were these candles thereAnd some days-ago cut flowersWhere the guy who had the knife there by his friendAnd my eyes could not adjust to the flames against the leavesSomeone was watching from nearbyI heard a phone chime from shallow in the treesI had to come see you, MichelleOh, MichelleWe are trafficking in wonderWorshiping the wounds upon your cheekSongtexteJust kiss me shy and I will love you like a lamp-readIn the cool, cool water of the creekTornadoes transform and leave us changedEveryone we love break on us like wavesTake your hands, cover up your eyes and your faceTell me what you see now, MichelleOh, MichelleFirst light might come too lateSo let's out-drive the headlight in the starsThe roof held but only till the rain fellNow it's leaking love inside my captain's carToss my chevrons out the window on the way over hereUncle Sam can meet me by the treelineHe and I and your husband, we can work it out like menWe won't end up white eyedOh, MichelleI can't say the things that I've seenFrom the time that I was gone and then returnedBut I got 5000 bucks and a full tank of gasAnd a Stars n' Stripes beach towel with a cigarette burnIf we leave right now, we'll be there by morningBetter being anywhere but hereWe can make a new start, we can make a new nameI've already picked yours, Michelle Aus Songtexte Mania
