lyrics

She was 17 and sickly and two quarters short. I was 24 and fading fast. It’s a dollar a daisy at the beverage store, tawny port with a screw-off cap. And lonely rental properties, bay window lights, glove boxes full of exes’ mix tapes. We danced to “Rebel Yell” in the changing degrees and told stories from our marching band days. Crawling to the surface cross from Battleground Park, out where everybody weakens and cheats. The supposition of flowers and virgins falling like timber. The moon and the drizzle surrounded the porch and she met me out behind. And I took off her glasses for old times’ sake and I let her take off mine. But I don’t miss anybody. I don’t miss a soul, just the way your dozen bracelets clattered. Saying, “Work? Work sucked. These customers are fucked.” Never talking about nothing that mattered. And now your rage is sponsored and so’s your machine, and so’s everything else you cherish in between, as sweet imaginings of teenage happenings keep me switching the station, hungry but patient. Sara, they got us surrounded.
