I spent it all on things no one could need
A leather coat a powder drug cabs carried me from club to club
I loved the waste like spitting poison blood
Strange
You were with me then
Floating down the avenues
Hair blown round your neck
While I drank the golden afternoons
But I missed you somehow
You were right there in the shape
Of your absence
Now I see the past slip into place
There are no other days
Just like dad said I went flat broke
At thanksgiving the family joke
I held my tongue and chased what I had known
I saw the way the pieces fit
Mistakes I dug my toes between like bricks
To climb how do I know they were mistakes at all
Strange
You were with me then
In the recklessness of days
Hair blown round your neck
A kind reflection on the windowpane
But I missed you somehow
You were right there in the shape
Of your absence
Now I see the past slip into place
There are no other days
Fingers on the presidents the money came the money went I spent it all on things no one could need A leather coat a powder drug cabs carried me from club to club I loved the waste like spitting poison blood Strange You were with me then Floating down the avenues Hair blown round your neck While I drank the golden afternoons But I missed you somehow You were right there in the shape Of your absence Now I see the past slip into place There are no other days Just like dad said I went flat broke At thanksgiving the family joke I held my tongue and chased what I had known I saw the way the pieces fit Mistakes I dug my toes between like bricks To climb how do I know they were mistakes at all Strange You were with me then In the recklessness of days Hair blown round your neck A kind reflection on the windowpane But I missed you somehow You were right there in the shape Of your absence Now I see the past slip into place There are no other days Explain Request ×
