There Is No Death

i want to be the kind of friend 
who can offer you cheap cocaine 
in exchange for you to spend some time with me 
but i am boring 

i want to be the kind of friend 
who can offer you vicodin and pbr 
and yard to barf it up 
but i am boring

Boring

Drinking Water

Bikelock

Time

Lucy And The Merman

Horse house

-drunk and dying I grasp the hem of your skirt
I lie and lie that I have seen the light
&
sun dappled 
paradise of dogs
crowns in the ground, 
smiles all around
Friendo you are everywhere
souls are everything else
Underneath the union halls
your voice illuminates the walls

I should know french by now 
and how to talk with a cigarette in my mouth 
and how to shoot 10 shots 
with a five shot revolver 
but I don't 
but I do know how to change a reel 
and keep the place from burning down 
to keep the past alive and in stereo 

so I'm singing this song for you 
french pin up girl from 1962 
you're going down with the ship 
but I can't go with you 

I should know film by now 
how to explain the last scene from Breathless 
and how to explain mis en scene to you 
and why it matters 
but I don't 
but I do know how to beg for films 
to be borrowed from other theaters 
where the past is always alive and beautiful

so I'm singing this song for you 
french pin up girl from 1962 
you're going down with the ship 
and I want to go with you 

There's no big finale or twist 
just me cleaning out the old projection room 
and all of us watching our favorite films 
5 times over again 
I try to take you down 
but you start to crumble 
behind you in small cursive 
"Time destroys everything" 

so I'm singing this song for you 
french pin up girl from 1962 
in the end were you right?
