you said feelings are freckles

they come in the summertime whether you like them or not

all you can do is wear makeup to cover them up

but you know that that’s dumb

can’t sleep in past sunrise, you’re uptight

say you hate wasting your time

but then always complain that you’re tired

then you sleep through the day, it’s like, what are you like?

___tough luck

you ain’t afraid, you’re a tough nut

you stay awake getting fucked up

you lay awake getting touched up

it ain’t the same now the sun’s up

no the mystery’s gone, went away, then you came back

it’s like you packed then you unpacked

you want the summer and the sun back

still your skin is like a sun map, untracked

-

let’s stay home and get stoned to the bone

what’s the point in us leaving the house?

home alone and it’s beautiful, no one’s allowed

you say you feel free when there’s no one around

and it’s evening now and the streets they have quietened down

still we ain’t going out

take a seat on the couch, get to know me

better than you already do

and it’s better when there’s love in the room

takes me back to when the sun wouldn’t move

but the water still talked to the moon

it’s always better when there’s love in the room

it’s always better when there’s drugs to consume

it’s always better when there’s someone like you

a bit of evidence of summer in bloom

-

___true

you and me in the lowlight driving

___two’s up

it’s been a while since we owned the horizon

___who’s up?

some other lovers on the night shift, skiving

___clued up

put the phone to your ear and say hello

___it’s too much

the way that the waterway echoes

___we lose touch

as we walk in the dark through the meadows

steal the keys to your mum’s SUV

spin the wheels like a blank CD-R

burning demos in a disc drive

wheels spinning in the best light

at night
