At dawn I walked across my front lawn
|
humming some bloodying, nordic song
|
it was raked and cut and comforting
|
to comfort I said so long
|
i stole my girl from her backyard
|
|
we jumped on a train
|
(anacostia, va)
|
to greyhound across the united states
|
|
we set off in hope of changing our lives
|
but settled instead on holiday inn, riverside
|
|
i woke up in the morning all alone
|
I walked down to the lobby and found her on the phone
|
"david" she said "I miss you I'm coming home"
|
I pulled her by the arm, she grabbed me by the throat
|
|
i went to the room and threw all her things
|
off the 17th floor balcony and set out...
|
|
we set off in hope of changing our lives
|
but settled instead on holiday inn, riverside
