normal town

i still remember you dressed in grey. working undercover for the cia

you were cursing silber living in back bay

sailing on the charles when i heard you say

let's go down to normal town

right now

down

down

down

i washed you lover and scrubbed your face

running from miss porter's you showed up one day

from a flat in south end where you made me strong

you said

we're burning out at both ends."
