I never should have known,
So many things he said come true.
Like I'm such a stubborn guy,
I never heard a thing was true.
In his silver suit he vowed,
Bowed a thousand times,
And on and on.
Some days I've lettered, a pretty cardboard sign.
I like to think I’d come out fine.
I’ve been to school, I know a thing or to,
I like to think I’d smell the lie.
Around his legs a bandage worn,
Wrapped a thousand times,
And on and on.
Above our heads lies violet sky,
Where birds fly upside down and die,
Each puff of cotton cloud that skates,
It punctuates a crime.
And on and on.
You riffle pages, through a long-lost, well-loved book,
Our whispering nothing until it took.
A cigarette lit and pressed between her lips,
Long, slow, fade to black-and-white - that look.
The laden-glance that promises, so much more.
The voice in church that’s raised above, above the roar.
And on and on.
Above our head, the violet sky,
Where birds fly upside down and die,
Each cotton puff of cloud that skates,
It punctuates a crime.
And on and on.
And on and on
