We drove through the night, the city sprawled out before us, it's legs wide open like a round bellied whore with defeat in her eyes and fuck me lips. February moon hanging above us and everything bathed in it's cool wet graffiti
through a cloud of smoke I kissed your hands in the Caddy and in a blank motel I prayed at your feet.
You ran the bath water to room tempeture and under the sterile florescent lights I examined the scars on your legs, roadmaps to your childhood of bloody knuckles and skinned knees.
It seemd so wrong and yet so right, perfection as this is where we've ended up, pretending to be anonymous...
I licked the warm beer from your lips and fell to pieces against your skin
I'm nobody
I was somebody
once
but now...now that's changed.
Hours passed when we averted our eyes and when it was time to go we pulled on our clothes in a haze of sleepiness and sweat.
You were flawless and in you I found YOU...the you that I fell in love with a million nights ago.P>
You left the room key on top of the dusty television and Johnny sang to us all the way home, past the crumbling factories and through a field of diamonds
and when I finally fell asleep that night
I couldn't put it together....it wasn't real and neither were you and maybe I had dreamed it all
maybe I'm still asleep.
