After several months the scent still lingers
Hidden under smoke and mirrors
And I’m still whistling the most obnoxious tune you’ve heard
Check the floorboard, you will find a box with things from older times
That someone’s left behind full of bad Memorex and dirt
Inch a couple inches closer
To the edge and look on over
I’ve got you by the shirttails and I’m rooted to a tree
Do you see the distant parkway
Anchored by the cars on their way home from bed and breakfasts to their Sunday night tv?
Wake up
But don’t move too fast
It’s a stick-up
And I can barely see through this ski mask
Just point to the vault
Wait - you have a vault, right?
Did I get the address right?
Did I mention you look really nice in this light?
I guess I’ll be off now. No, I’ll go let myself out. Have a great night.
Barricade the doors and windows
Build an indoor fort with pillows
And just in case go tuck the checkbook into dresser drawers
Dance around the question till the tone and your inflection make it obvious space and direction don’t matter anymore
Wake up, it’s a short damn life
So impatient that I can barely sit through this street light
Just hand me a smoke
Wait - we’ve still got smokes, right?
Why does nothing go right?
Did I mention I’m tired and I’m bored and I’m just being polite.
I hope we’re home soon so I can sleep in my own room.
What a strange life.
