The way they wanted their mouths to fit
image to line-up, thoughts to map
eyes to lock and skin to snap...
The way they wanted to please the other
show the ropes, suspend the mother
invert her body, world upside down...
The way they ran away but stayed in town
an antique factory, a bathroom stall
a pier on her birthday, appear not to fall...
They wanted so much, there was never enough
playing soft, playing tough, another whiskey, another smoke
the closer to truth the bigger the joke...
The way they wanted more than this life
The way they got it, despite the grief
The way they wanted more than this life
The way they got it, despite the grief...
