fluffy white dogs and the lady's big banks
high-rise sky scraping black cityscapes
sitting on the couch as you make your exchange
car ride after midnight, you sold a girl cocaine
keyboard clicking and won't you come home?
the old can of peaches is rusting alone
don’t got a landline, money, or a phone
nothing left to do but to wait here and hope
don't have an opener, don't have a clue
dull pencil sharpeners, imaginary food
“check for understanding” school to pass the time
waiting in the dark but i’m keeping on the lights
bart station — you used to be so nice — worked a 5 to 9
they said that you'd always be the type...
the type to what? to lie? to live a lonely life
isolated from society and losing your mind? communicative
(of your wants, not needs)
knobby knees shake, anticipate, the needle lets you free
fly away, leave here stranded with the thought
that if you got what you wanted it wouldn't be me
