Bone Structure

Playing scratch offs with the pull tab of a tallboy on your front steps

Helicopters dancing over us, retreat inside

Then we both got sick from the window of a taxi

The driver didn't mind, so we laughed in the backseat

In the morning you asked if I took you to bed

I said: When I do, you'll remember it

Your bone structure was more striking

To me than all your lack of empathy

Your bone structure made it

So I couldn't see you were indifferent to me

This coffee's too strong, I am shaking

I guess that's why I still come here

You are day drunk, my salvation, whistling: I'm On Fire

Your bone structure was more striking

To me than all your lack of empathy

Your bone structure made it

So I couldn't see you were indifferent to me

We share a twelve dollar bottle of brandy in the parking lot

Behind a dumpster so everybody else can

Pretend that they don't notice and we all can eat our breakfast in peace

You spit champagne through your front teeth

Slap my face and laugh like a lunatic in a movie

You cut right through me, come out on the other side

Your bone structure was more striking

To me than all your lack of empathy

Your bone structure made it

So I couldn't see you were indifferent to me

Your bone structure was more striking

To me than all your lack of empathy

Your bone structure made it

So I couldn't see you were indifferent to me
