You said you were 5’8
I said "I’m impressed"
A few drinks more
And I watched you undress
I’m my mother’s daughter
I’m kind of a bitch
But babe I’m a sucker
For the swing in your hips
You came over over Monday
I tried not to laugh
When you did a couple bumps
And ran us a bath
I was falling in love
As the room filled with steam
Slid my tongue inside you
And drowned in a dream
Hey baby talk to me
Hey lover talk to me
I met you in winter
You flew out in May
I said I would visit
When you got to L.A.
I flew cross the country
While the hospitals filled
Found you and your friends
Rolling up dollar bills
Curbside in the k-hole
Nine o’clock at night
Staring at me like a stranger
Who just killed off your vibe
I ruined your party
You’d have me believe
Our days were numbered
I left you in three
Hey baby talk to me
Hey lover talk to me
The little miracle of touch
The heat, the sweat, the sigh, the hush
The burning candle in the dark
The deeper fire in the heart
Wilted flowers on the ceiling
Baby picture stickers peeling
Calla lilies, bloody nose
Little deaths in borrowed clothes
Tell the drunk on Saint Mark’s Street
The stars above, the rats beneath
I loved a girl with red wine eyes
A took the fall, countless times
You’re sweeter than victory
Till you get what you need
Heard you’re with a boy now
Does he do it like me?
I’m sure you‘ll be breathless
For a week or more
Till the high wears off
And you get bored
The bloodstain is stubborn
Don’t know how to deal
With the arrow I shot
Through my Achilles heel
I can’t break the cycle
A permanent scar
Like “For Lovers Only”
Tattooed on your arm
