i got the blues
crazy navy baby
smoking fifties glitter
shaking off mercury
swish, slide, bona fide
jukebox high
for my
crazy navy baby
The words try to jump from my lips
I grit my teeth, chew on my bottom lip
and whisper into my drink
I’ll be damned if I say it first
You looked at me and said
that shouldn’t have happened to you
I know I know I know
I have exhausted all thought on the matter
The past won’t come knocking, as long as you are here
All I want to do is wrap myself in your prison arms
and forget
I’ll be damned if I say it first
So I sing it when you’re gone
In the echoes of my house the neighbors hear
Those stupid fucking words
