It was Don |
|
Delillo, whiskey neat |
|
And a blinking midnight clock |
|
Speakers on a |
|
TV standJust a turntable to watch |
|
Only smoke came out our mouths |
|
On all those hooded sweatshirt walks |
|
We were a stroke of luck |
|
We were a gold mine that gutted us |
|
And from the sidelines you'd see me run |
|
Until I'm out of breath |
|
Living the good life, |
|
I left for dead |
|
The sorrowful |
|
MidwestWell |
|
I did my best |
|
To keep my head |
|
It was grass stain jeans and incompletes |
|
And a girl from class to touch |
|
But you think about yourself too much |
|
And you ruin who you love |
|
Well all these claims at consciousness |
|
My stray dog freedom |
|
Let's have a nice clean cut |
|
Like a bag we buy and divvy up |
|
And from the sidelines |
|
I see you run |
|
Until you're out of breath |
|
And all those white lines that spread us up |
|
We hurried to our death |
|
Well I lagged behind |
|
So you got ahead |
