junkie church

last week i saw you at the junkie church

you told me all the things i need to hear

like i've got a heart of gold and a kind and open soul

so we went and bought ourselves a can of beer

steel reserve

i was manic at the clinic

i was feeling like my body disappeared

my tongue rolling around in the void inside my mouth

it was infinite and brown and kind of weird

infinite

and the waiting room was pissing in my ear

the waiting room was pissing in my ear

so we went and bought ourselves a can of beer

steel reserve

oh

i love you cause i love you cause i can

i love you cause i love you cause i can

last time i tried to go to sleep

my head expanded in an air balloon of words

a thousand conversations with your disembodied voice

in a cacophony of adjectives and verbs

air balloon

on your last night at saint mary's

you were way too intoxicated to breathe

so i used your ribs as ladders and i climbed up on your chest

and i jumped up and down just like a trampoline

trampoline

and the ambulance was mean as it could be

it melted both my tennies to the street

that night

i stole a candy bar from circle k

milky way

oh

i love you cause i love you cause i can

i love you cause i love you cause i can

oh

i love you cause i love you cause i can

i love you cause i love you cause i can

oh

i love you cause i love you cause i can

i love you cause i love you cause i can
