the church, how she swells brackets full of ticketholders ready for the lights and the pews, they buckle under just like the bishop's bed under the weight of deacons' wives
but she's a handsome prize and he's a number rise and a damned good hypnotic
your name, it is a banner that flies over the most shameful things like a garage full of guns and dirty magazines brackish water and cauldrons of gasoline race-consuming tongues and callow reveling
but you are somewhere in the corners of america you try and sing your love just how it is but i swear i'm gonna beat You to it take that song, pervert it bit by bit
'cause you are just a sunday morning you're a bullhorn in the street you're a protest on the asphalt politician on tv you're a bell rung by the hour a curse when we cut our feet you're a five-word liar's chorus: "you mean everything to me"
