Last Shadow Puppets Gas Dance
There she was
graciously making forever less terrifying
And you've got the nerve
to intervene
with a coloring book and a byro and a point to prove
And now you want a word
And you washed all the wisdom out your mouth
and the gas danced on the edge of your bottom lip
Quick to scurry back behind the night
To avoid the silent fight and the struggle
There I was
Panicking because someone else kissed me in a dream
and it was on the cheek
And you stamp your feet
and I'm moving from bored to appalled by these poignant
fumes
that you must inflict
And you washed all the wisdom out your mouth
and the gas danced on the edge of your bottom lip
Someone told me that that stench was called/cold
advice/a vice
Took a solid breath
To a little rip
I've got to carry your broach to cover that hideous
stitch
All that grim repair (??)
and we're all upset
See the fear in your cheeks
and I still smell the lies on your breath
And your jokes don't bounce and you've entered the
early stages of bitterness
And you washed all the wisdom out your mouth
And the gas danced on the edge of your bottom lip
Quick to scurry back behind the night
To avoid the silent fight and the struggle
