lyrics
Another yellow evening
your arms draped on our table
I’m always thinking
when there’s a cigarette in your hand
your staring out into that certain street
where the faces that you’ve met are always faces that I’ll meet
Oh, your hair
amongst the silence of my pen
your coming up the stairs
my mind’s unwritten
More questions
“How was your day?”
“Fine.” “Just fine?”
“Of course.” “Ok.”
And on our way
to your friend’s place
you say, “What’s wrong?”
Well, I have tried to play
time and time again
“I am an older man
inside a younger man”
measured my life in increments
of coffee spoons and musical instruments
still the way
you have stayed
a silhouette in the window pane
when I have tried my best
put out your golden cigarette
don’t say a word
our sex is the argument
And I am the fool?
And I am the fool.
And I am the fool?
Hangovers in the morning
like moths attached and pinned
burnt out on the cheap glass
hotel lamps
above our bed
We understand
little to nothing
about the “something”
that snuck out, punching
disturbed in our drunkenness
I am nothing
but I plucked your strings
I am nothing
but I’ve heard you sing
Well, I have tried to play
time and time again
I am a fisherman
of a sinking sentence
measure life with discontent
and siren songs and meticulous dissonance
still the way
you have stayed
a silhouette in the window pane
when I have tried my best
throw out our ragged nets
don’t get undressed
our sex is an arsonist
And I am the fool?
And I am the fool.
And I am the fool?
