The city slept like a log
Like a baby in the womb
As your body shut down in a hospice room
I hear the ancients moan looking for someone to talk to
Just looking for a home
I slept like a buzzsaw
Slept in all my clothes
Heart left on in the back like a radio
Apologies and pleas
Seeping into my dreams sound like
Song dedications from Art Laboe
If you’re gonna hang around leave me alone
Counting all the birthmarks that just won’t let me go
We’ll sit and count the days
till we’re all together again as ghosts
Make yourself a shadow
shut up and know I love you most
You’re like a polaroid
full of light and dark
Shook and shook till it was clear it was all a blur from the start
If you’re gonna be in my blood
Just leave me all the good parts
Hidden in the shadows of the birthmarks
A little sanity
Show me a little sanity sometimes
If you’re gonna be in my heart
Between the radio stations
In between all that hurt
You’re gone but you’re somewhere, I swear
