[00:16.591]Hello, stranger
[00:19.437]You remind me of someone, a jangling lust
[00:23.852]Pouncing on a sliver
[00:26.173]Of a dusty pool of light
[00:28.260]Your fire's hue
[00:30.196]Is a maraschino cherry
[00:32.866]A room-temperature eye
[00:38.157]Backlit by the bar
[00:40.877]Your tongue a chewed straw, you're all period blood and soundcheck blues
[00:48.953]Both armpits ripped and a lucky horseshoe pinball bruise
[01:07.406]You're not quite in proportion
[01:10.018]So you've stayed in motion
[01:12.852]Ever since your longing outgrew you
[01:17.908]Stepping and re-stepping until it is a run
[01:22.513]Over and over, on the same platform from where you begun
[01:27.770]Like someday this one-horse town
[01:32.436]Will pull itself out of the station just to follow you around
[01:37.768]You're the real destination
[01:52.826]On a boomerang counter
[01:55.957]You crash the keys, "Coffee, please"
[01:58.929]A word of advice, from here in the daylight
[02:03.271]Stay off the high road, it's a sneering code
[02:08.264]It's a lazy border boundary to "I don't wanna know"
[02:12.537]And we never will
[02:15.106]Trash like us
[02:17.490]We can't even spell
[02:20.105]But we're impossible to kill
[02:23.641]Just self-destruct, closing time never comes
[02:30.353]Closing time never comes
[02:34.918]You love boys and guitars and girls and trucks
[02:40.686]The way you move fills me with envy and wonder
[02:45.771]You somehow live free of men's eyes?
[02:50.562]Even with a bell on your collar, they don't find or define you
[02:55.371]Slip that noose in an arc so whip-sleek and steady
[03:00.857]You fill me with envy and wonder already
[03:05.673]Somewhere between saying and screaming, you chime
[03:10.347]"Oh, I, I'm going to live a real life
[03:15.437]With blood and dirt and the subway for dessert
[03:19.939]'Cause there's a feeling I've never met
[03:24.675]And if it's gonna eat me alive, or use me for its fuse
[03:30.393]I might as well walk it home in time for tomorrow"
[03:35.322]Might as well walk it home in time for tomorrow
[03:50.056]Most of all I love you
[03:52.287]Because you don't pretend it doesn't hurt
[03:56.310]Waiting for the world to catch up
[03:59.278]And see you for your worth
[04:01.710]As more than just a neutral tarp to compliment the gleam
[04:06.311]Of some glossy martyr's meat?
[04:10.763]As a contrast high? A graphic feast?
[04:15.599]Your compact in the gutter
[04:18.332]Mingling with the slurry of cigarettes and needles
[04:24.484]As more than a housewife, a has-been, or just somebody's lover
[04:29.867]A housewife, a has-been, or just somebody's lover
[04:34.650]A housewife, a has-been, or just somebody's lover
[04:41.323]Closing time never comes
[04:46.181]Closing time never comes
[04:51.002]Oh, I, I wanna live a real life
[04:56.065]With blood and dirt and the subway for dessert and more
[05:00.668]So let's tattoo the morning paper to their driveways in our gore
[05:05.519]There's a feeling that I have never met
[05:10.003]And if it eats us alive
[05:14.953]We can still be on time
[05:19.951]For tomorrow
