I kicked her in the face
With heaven splitting violence
Packed like cigarettes, it was just an accident
I hurt her once before
But that took place a year or more
This was in a vehicle, weathered and dependable
I kicked her in the face
The driver braked with sudden haste
Inertia is a bitch, which turned my foot into a fist
This girl could take a punch
Tougher than I always was
She rubbed her face, then shrugged it off and held in place
These hands
That stuck to the plan
That stupid plan
Like a swerving van
A conversion van
With no seat for this man
And his traveling band
Sprawling out on the sand
with an earthquake at hand
I kicked her in the face
It made me feel so out of place
We're naked in the mud, but that's one thing we've never done
Eyes on the road
Forget about this episode
It's so absurd, this is what I've done to her
