I've got the gawks and I am picking up your quirks Not another dead bird! You catch all but the gulls There's enough oil here to slick back our stray hairs forever Lorraine, they say Your gray is grace And your decay will wash away Lorraine, your rain has bleary eyes Blinking for the skyline Shelter is easy but it's home you can't find At least it takes time I've got the fear and I am tugging at your sleeve Not another dead word! You will k** nonsense dead There's enough sulk here to swallow the youngest tear In clouds forever Never seen a shooting star Mistaken for a meteor From the crowded Erie shore There you were I've got the shakes And I am praying for your grace Quickly, before I move away You're a karma bomb There's not enough movement here to fuse rivers and divisions for a minute Lest forever Lorraine, they call you here You're supposed to see it That the city makes its own stars They catch fire There's hope in your shadows Dark only in the sickest ways If we squint 'til the heavens are clear You'll be near I come to you bearing plenty All of it worthless probably Can you take the worst from me? Can you take the fool out of me? Lorraine, I'd say Your gray is grace And your nasty will vindicate
