Slicked all that brittle back
Stripped out a widow's peak
Pried from a pavement crack
A sense of champagne chic
The bars are brawn and bold
Shaking legs drag back the week
So rip back those skinny arms
Peel back that shelter skin
You're slapped with sticky charm
A new wave offering
Calm down those missed mistakes
They'll have their chance to sting
Between the streets, we meet beneath the walls and floors
To creak against the shifting feet
The language bent
There is no twitch in this defence
But a hat is still a hat
Stretched over shoeshine sleek
For every concubine
A shaking silver streak
Growing fast against your skin
Clawing marks brand pale cheeks
So dusting off your better half
Feels less the times each day
But the street lights drag you out
Keep liquor lines at bay
A smell that permeates
Ruby red and rubble grey
Between the streets, we meet beneath the walls and floors
To creak against the shifting feet
The language bent
There is no twitch in this defence
So stay asleep and blank the screen
And blanket down the drift way seams
The night is stirred enough without
The siren sounds of all you've seen
Come away
