I. 佐賀県

Rollin' up, steppin' out a white dodge caravan 
heard it through the grapevine she already got a man
she’s got that short bob, dye-job, four months overseas
and in a dive-bar bathroom she finally got a hold of me
so keep it to yourself, don't you ever speak a word of it 
and if the rumors get to moving, boy, pretend you never heard of it
she's a slender Cinderella singing sad songs sedative
but i'm sick of playing chicken, sugar, something's surely gotta give

and i know it's not her natural color but it does her pretty well 
surgical porcelain an uppercase letter L

II.  KIX

Shivering, stepping out of the airport
(forgot it was only A two hour flight)
drinking knowing too well getting on board
(that hotel check in would close by midnight)
so i'm sorry that i woke you 
from the taxi 
breathing whiskey through the phone
but even four years since we said goodbye 
i still know where your heart is i am home

III. Vanilla 

she wakes up late, starts putting her face on
(hoping that soon she'll be finishing up)
it's been seven years since she last had her hair long
(sipping whiskey together from her only cup)
the ice is halfway back to water any second she'll be sneaking back to bed
but today i'll weigh the things i say against the things I know i should've said.

IV.  honden

tugging at my sleeve
(please god don't Take this from me)
she says it's time to leave
(just one more drink or something)
we finally made it to the last train
(still out of breath from running)
but it still feels incomplete
(yeah, it's been a long time coming)
now i'm falling asleep
(is she ever thinking of me?)
while she's kicking off the sheets
I Don’t Know Who She’s Becoming.
