Daniel worked at a funeral home
and he had a few sidecars for dinner
Was he drunk or clairvoyant
or playing us both for his own enjoyment?
You, wasted in a hollow tub,
naked and saying you love me
I repeat it like a litany, I cannot see
the good woman that you see
Am I down because I’m dirty
or only because I’m at your mercy?
Am I strong because I'm sturdy
or only because you find me worthy?
Not a chill on my shoulder,
as we’re driving to Joan’s
on the back roads,
no signal, late October
When you pulled over,
you made a heathen like me
a holy god damn roller

Is this all to my existence?
Crossing fingers you’ll arrive.
The piñata's busted open
but the cover band is fine.
How do I, with all this distance
even care that you’re alive?
You’re a phantom by the fire
3,000 miles from the dive.
Says he’s basically from Bristol;
I guess I love a townie guy.
We’re conceited so the mirror
and the bed are side by side.
He tells me that it’s hot when
I look myself in the eye.
On a blend of jersey cotton,
I see what you didn’t like.

For Bobby

I’m in the church pew
losing a thumb war
He’s getting married
up at the altar
I want to have and hold
my debit at the drugstore
I promise to be true
to ice you at your front door
Dead and buried with my
body on the dance floor
Dead and buried
Been taking eddies
like the body of christ, body of christ
Drinkin’ millies 'cause
the good shit is overpriced
Don’t know his name
I guess he’s Bobby to us tonight
Bobby get the pax locked and loaded
Bobby you know that we wanna party
He takes us back to his hotel,
hoping this night just might go well,
for Bobby
his kinda party
They want to go home
and kick it low key
We want to turn the dive to a disco,
school bus karaoke
Laugh with you in joy
bottle pulls in sorrow,
Something trashy, something blue
something borrowed
It's a marathon
we’re calling out tomorrow
Open bar got ‘em sleeping
on this pizza and champagne
She got the ivy in her hair,
drippin’ IV in her veins,
Bobby shows up in overalls,
says he don't mind the rain
