badumbump

Two lost barrettes
Graze fireballs
Just bottle caps and dominoes
You'll never know what you have missed
You're all alone in the infinite
And I never mind anymore what you see
You're on to me but your sympathy is all wrong
I'm just a bump on the wall
A scratchoff bet
Mere detritus
Some tossed cassettes
On needle tips
You'll never know what you dismiss
You're off again on your endless quest
And I seldom hear anymore what you say
You're tired of me and your shattered dreams are all gone
I'm just a lump on the lawn
You and me higher than the ocean breezes fall
And if life passes by the broken bear it all anyway
Carry me back to whence i came
To a place without a name
Full of puzzled aeroplanes
So strange so strange
Hydrants jet, sweepers roar
Past party hats from discount stores
Loose cigarettes chase magazines
Sweet memories of gasoline
And I shouldn't care anymore what you think
You're over me and your shame and grief are spot on
I'm just a bum on the road
