We were
down at deadman’s hill smoking vines like cigarettes looking through the trashy
mags trying to feel what’s coming next you told me of crashing cars older
brothers and late night bars I told you what I feel most and you kept it like a
ghost forever don’t you write it down remember this in your head don’t take a
picture remember this in your heart don’t leave a message talk to me face to
face lying on the bright blue jumping mat dinner bell is ringing barking dogs
and model planes and the sound of passing trains we watch for bonfires in the
sky on the beach in july spin the bottle steal the kiss postcards to the one I
miss forever the one I miss forever don’t you write it down remember this in
your head don’t take a picture remember this in your heart I’ll leave a message
when everything comes apart I remember cats on fire gasoline a burning spiral
standing underneath the night fighting back with all my might empty cans and
charred remains find them in the heat of day on the top of deadman’s hill this
is what I know of shame forever
