Exhaust Pipe
In the shadow of a smokestack rising eating up the air
Kinda gritty look you give me on this street to God knows where
We’re ducking under extrusions in the face of water walls
At least we got each other ‘neath this sky that’s like a war
Eye brows on the ceiling even though we got the word
Imagining is one thing but reality’s absurd
Part of me is chill
And part of you is screaming
Now that we got choked in earth’s exhaust pipe
I can pull you closer
You can stare me out
It’s getting hard to breath in earth’s exhaust pipe
Creating scenes a hotel room the balm of bodies close
And bricks so thick to hide the world is all that we can hope
Nose in flesh the best to hide like puppies suckling mums
And after rain the swollen streets be scorching in the sun
How did it come to this . . .
I just want to love you . . .
