She said she had to go
and I couldn’t follow
her words were hard to hear
harder to swallow
She walked into the night
I watched the dark take her
I knew then my mother was right
she was born a heartbreaker
i followed her to a lonely bar
where they let you drink underage
I watched the door from my broke down car
at a joint called faraday’s cage
It was well past close but still the band played
Pogues covers on a crowded stage
but I never got passed the barricades
at a joint called faraday’s cage
we need a producer without crazy fees
just a flat rate, no royalties
is that a practical ideology
some disagree, Albini believes
steve albini, from chicago
recorded the pixies, and nirvano
twisting knobs with pens in the pocket
levels loud now, than they soften
"Tonight, the bottle let me down,"
Merle sang on the record spinning 'round
I know it seems absurd
You didn't catch a word
So you have half
And I'm thinking about a third.
There is a story
In the titles
In the typeset
Of the books she left behind
Shelved by color
By last name
By subject
All these books she left behind
There's only silence
There is no message
There is no meaning
It's only paper
I find a box
Stack em high
Light a match
No more books left behind
I find a box
Stack em high
Light a match
For all those books she left behind.
It's her cheekbones
The way she holds her phone
Her fake discontent
And the little dent
In her chin, (man) her lips
Her case of bowling yips
The sprout of her smile
Everyone's name on file
She has to win
Only drinks gin
And tonic, (oh) eyes
Those disappointed signs
The one hand driving
Her middle age thriving
Her hugs and her stare
Look back, if you dare
She has her own way
17 things about Serena Ray
won’t someone tell me what I’m thinking
I’m too tired to do it alone
there’s a pit in my stomach that sinking
like feathers tied to a stone
haven’t we always been
predisposed to the spin
you know, they always say
what you don’t use just fades away
Now let me tell you what you’re thinking
I already know how it ends
I’m a bold statement maker when drinking
a prognosticator of trends
haven’t we always been
predisposed to the spin
you know, they always say
what you don’t use just fades away
