lyrics

Walkin' blue, afternoon
like a bug out on the pavement
throwing pennies in a concrete canal
on the way to an air-conditioned action double feature

walkin' blue
fresh out of school
I never met the ones who made me
I caught a cab, I had my old book bag
and the road rolled out
like brand-new stationery

I remember that room for rent
with two bipolar graduates
writing hard-boiled poetry
while a girl fixed vintage drinks
working on her phd
in postwar pornography theory

golden threads
and empty beds
paperbacks and moonbeams
some kinds of life are like invisible ink
on a banner up and down
the alleys and the sidestreets

this is a love song
for sweet routines
spiral notebooks
and crooked teeth
this is a love song
for sad cafes
ink on your fingers
and lonely days
and growing pains
and lonely days
and who cares anyway

walkin blue afternoon
like a bug out on the pavement
throwing pennies in a concrete canal
on the way to an air-conditioned
action double-feature
