Genres: Drama,That’s her over in the corner
Drinking coke and eating ice
Twisting her hair over her finger
There’s a memory inside your eyes
The Cigarette machine she’s leaned on
Remembers more than most of us
We hide them both under a blanket
When the health department comes
Four more living in an alley
Separated …
It took walls to drive her crazy
It took space to drive her in
Swimming pools are nice attraction
So are Vicodin and wine
A week-long ocean-front vacation
Feel like a pirate for a time
Every distant destination, never-ending gasoline
Every man it's a simple caller
Every simple girl’s a queen
Giant screens of skies exWloding
Something basic and power chords
We got a preacher if you’re listening
