Well I hoped I’d recognize your face I got there early found a parking space And sat in my car like I was casing the place I thought it’s not too late I could cut you loose I could go home now offer some excuse Then the door opened and there was no mistaking you You said come in Take your shoes off And come in Poured the drinks exchanged prerequisites I am good you said but the world is shit So what we’re old men now? Then I laughed no you’rе right it is This time well it really is Yеah we let it get away you said Like the falconer from the poem you read I just shook my head feels like waiting around For the Second Coming Except nobody’s coming And the talk turned over to life before To the kindness of strangers and their kitchen floors SongtexteHow the pain grows sweet and the blood dries burnt orange The green rooms and the tortilla chips All the couches caked in ejaculate How I cringed when you said At least someone is getting it Coming At the same time coming The drinks grew low and your eyes grew dim Like curtain was pulled so no light gets in You said I’m fine alone but It’s good to see you man I feel cut off from all I have been But am I the stump or am I the limb?
