lyrics

Hand written invitation.
Sorta soon to change your name.
God your good with colored pencils.
You dot your Is with flames
First thing I called up Cathy.
Course Cathy called up Kate
Knew she’d be there with Wendy.
Was sure they’d show up late

He’s proud he’s got no phone now,
so I walked the mile to Karl’s.
We all piled laughing into the tiny rental car.
Good morning Norfolk Ferry.
They let You drive straight on board.
Had to Hit em up by name to pay
fucking fifteen dollar toll.

The air out there’s So salty.
You opened the front door.
Your face erased 11 years.
Your voice 11 more.
(Red wine and Roses.
Her young lips pink and wet.
Wedding toasts.
The evening ocean
swallowing the fat red sun down dead.
Pretty sure you still love me.
Know for sure you did.
Jesus wrapped in barb wire.
No one else makes art like that.


Flashes. Flashes. Pictures.
a name on every steak.
Course I had to meet her.
Wish to god her smile was fake.
You danced with everyone you danced with.
It all felt meant to be.
You kissed her on her young pink mouth.
Same way that you kissed me.

Red wine and Roses.
Where all that water went.
Wedding toasts.
The evening ocean.
Then you took her off to bed.
Jesus you made his eyes so sad.
You made his mouth so red.
You dance girl every time you dance.
I don’t dance like that.

Took off everything I’d have to dry clean.
Let the surf roll over me.
Even That far south the ocean’s cold.
Felt cold but meant to me.
I know for sure you loved me.
Stars are smiling teeth.
You really ought to finish Calvary.
Then give that piece to me.
