Kneel down on hardwood

Place your sweet words, like cherries

Hot breath soft into my mouth

Dig up your weary body

Drink off the edge of worry

Bomb the grassy hill into the center of the earth

While the gears beneath this evil city limp along on fumes

And grind through spirits twice as strong as mine

We desert flowers bloom at night, gathered ‘round the fire

With burning plastic, howling laughing eyes

They never know how much it means to me

Rip through the screen door

Let yellow light, likе comets out

Because nothing can contain you

You nеver knock, no

You know i leave the door unlocked

So that you could call it home too

And we all know this battered house

Is doomed to renoviction

All i ask is “hold me for a while”

And help this brutal summer day

Slip to haphazard memory

Crushin’ hard through flat beer on the roof

There’s nowhere else that i would rather be

And in the bulk aisle jacket pockets full of stolen cherries burst

And i am lost in selfish daydream

I am a bad friend, i'd like to prove it to you

Take a load off, people watchin' on the sidewalk

Hearts full of townie pride and half baked rants against the government

Cause who can you really trust that isn't 86'd from ralphs?

But don't get me started on olympia in spring

Cowards never die, so i guess ill just keep seeing you around

I hear the whistle blow at 5, we're killing time

In sardonic, huddled groups downtown

Wake up and all i see are cherries, rainbows behind the lucky 7

Long term memory in pieces on the floor

You brought a bottle to the beach, so they're always there beneath your cheeks

Scratchers and cherries in the sun for everyone i know, yeah

Cause its been a hard year
