Between parked cars
behind the building on the ground
will you just leave the manners and mildness youve found?
and love the coarseness
and the wildness i could command
my heart watches like a cat at night
for the man bound to the hand
to hold my child and my wedding band
you know every boy in the city
loves a warm girl like me
What do I know?
and the songs you sold me
the ones that sleep inside my chest
and how they wake and roll and come to rest
and leave me cold
and leave me clear
oh misdirection, sweet hands, fragile soul
i have been mistaken
been fractured and made whole
but certain, honey
is something ive never been
what do I know now anyway.
