I lived my Life for you
But you left me
at the side of the road
After smoking all the reds
It's Sunday at Midnight
Where else would I be?
The phone makes me numb
its vibrating my thigh
I know who it's not
So I don't have to answer
Its two p m on a wednesday
Where do you think I am?
I'm doing an impression of Dexter
Created by a child
Animated in Crayon
Through a Smile I can't hide
It's four am; The Suns Rising
We've been here once before
I've been picked up
By the kindness of a stranger
Who dressed me up
Set me down
With a need like a pestle
grading into my cheek
The sounds of this wild train
Lay me down to rest
sweet words you spoke
sound good in a different voice
It clock is ringing out 8
Take a guess at how I am
I'd never have guessed
how good we'd look
Standing on the balcony
in period costumes
"Its around night-time ten"
Acting out the proper roles
Ladies and Gentlemen
there's somewhere else
I'd prefer to be
with something real
But It's 9:30 tonight
And you want me more
Me and my feet
are firmly planted
I wont sink into Mud
This Material is Antique
When my time runs out
It'll tear 'cause the burden
So we lived our lives
look where it got us
Now that day so long ago
Makes me happy
Whenever that time was
We were together.
