Butterfly Band-Aids
The membrane that surrounds the brain
Is pulsing and punctured.
Down some Novocaine
So I'm numb for the rupture,
Shooting brain cells dead,
Pixilating eyes (lies),
Chipped tooth and nail,
Skinned knees,
Rough summer nights --
I'll take another butterfly band-aid, please.
These are the things that remind me of you,
A crystal clear blue and a beautiful view,
Buckets full of posies
And apple blossoms,
Running barefoot downtown,
We hit the bottom
Of the bottle and
Like ashes we all fell down,
Side by side we hit the ground,
And talked like we were all friends again.
Turn on your low-beams, dear,
Your blinding bright eyes,
I need my glasses just to detect your lies,
Watch that misty perfume dew on
Elbows and thighs,
Cover the smell of sex and cigarettes,
Take a deep breath,
Do you regret last night?
Good. Neither do I.
