~light vermeer~

just a deadbeat martyr with a paper and a pen
hurricane and a half but carry on til the end
what’s love to a lover, what’s lust to a friend
you’re the Light to my Vermeer

we used to talk we shared our souls
who needs a god when you’re my world
king kong courage but my heroine’s got a fatal flaw
all i ask, please write me back angeleen

putting pressure on an egg hoping it won’t crack
too long since the otter’s seen its habitat
permission only pays when you get what you want
now you got land in upstate vermont

we used to talk we shared our souls
who needs a god when you’re my world
king kong courage but my heroine’s got a fatal flaw
all i ask, please write me back angeleen

caught a bad break on a cul de sac
greyhound bus and ain’t coming back
post office, scape goat, dropped calls, missed note
all i ask, please write me back angeleen

cheap wine and cigarettes
don’t fill the hole you left in me
mistook the cactus for a rose
i don’t know why red leaves fall
baby, your boots have seen it all
beware fools just masquerading as saints

we used to talk we shared our souls
who needs a god when you’re my world
king kong courage but my heroine’s got a fatal flaw
all i ask, please write me back angeleen
all i ask, please write me back angeleen
