watching you mix up the paint... brush away
|
the questions now... ask another fovor of who ever.
|
you say it's failure not contempt that makes an
|
honest fool of you... l think I'll use a lighter blue...
|
there's a reason for that but I don't want to talk
|
much about it... isn't that the funniest thing. I think
|
about it all the time but I don't want to talk much
|
about it. Ok, Ok, anything you say.
|
striking up another match... put it to the candle there
|
reading them old valentines. Trucks are going in
|
and out of that big garage all night... I wonder why you
|
turned on me as if I was a one way street but I don't
|
want to talk much about it... l think about it
|
some of the time but...
|
playing checkers friday night... all your brother's
|
friends are drunk...opinions they get funny too.
|
I'm thinking of the things you said, looking at the
|
bottles there... "no deposit, no return"...empty or full, it
|
seems...
