I've got the gawks and
I am picking up your quirks
Not another dead bird
You catch all but the gulls
There's enough oil here to slick
back our stray hairs forever
Lorraine they say
Your gray is grace
And your decay will wash away
Lorraine your rain has bleary eyes
Blinking for the skyline
Shelter is easy but
it's home you can't find
At least it takes time
I've got the fear and
I am tugging at your sleeve
Not another dead word
You will kill nonsense dead
There's enough sulk here to swallow
the youngest tear
In clouds forever
Never seen a shooting star
Mistaken for a meteor
From the crowded Erie shore
There you were
I've got the shakes
And I am praying for your grace
Quickly before I move away
You're a karma bomb
There's not enough movement here
to fuse rivers and divisions for a minute
Lest forever
Lorraine they call you here
You're supposed to see it
That the city makes its own stars
They catch fire
There's hope in your shadows
Dark only in the sickest ways
If we squint 'til the heavens are clear
You'll be near
I come to you bearing plenty
All of it worthless probably
Can you take the worst from me
Can you take the fool out of me
Lorraine I'd say
Your gray is grace
And your nasty will vindicate
