about
WINTER 2
"Our hero falters."
lyrics
Honey, put your glasses on.
I need your help
finding something
I think I’ve misplaced
Maybe grab a jacket too,
Thick enough to warm you to the
bone,
In the cold spots on the way
As for me, my cigarettes,
In case I get tired
And need some smoke to
Free up the air.
I am temporary
I wash off
Anyway we gotta go
Come on pack up your shit let’s go
We’re headed out of town
Red and blue and old hair gray —
Our pasty skin,
Gently juxtaposed
Against the dawn
The suffocating snow, it falls as
Gifts without sound,
Secrets to swallow up
The lawn.
I am unimportant
I am second-rate
Now we’re off, here’s country roads,
An old, cozy song.
I apologize in advance
In a silver splash, Winter’s with us,
Hiking up her skirt,
The coins flash from my pocket
To her hands.
“There it is,” she says,
“Just look up, not at the dirt.”
Embarrassed, I notice
I’m not wearing pants.
Is this just how things happen?
Not at all, then all at once?
Plots are overrated but
We feel deep in love
The first time i saw you strung out
I thought it then, i think it now
You are my favorite.
My tiny baby bean,
My ugly sprout.
So here we are, and I am Death,
And you a lonesome target,
Let’s head on back.
It won’t be found.
Someday we’ll find my good name.
Where did it go?
