COMMA, from PENSACOLA by Ribbon Skirt

"Got a twenty and a comma you read that right
Little kid you’re really lucky you still got time
While you’re kissing on the mouth just to stay here
I got all the time to wander back
While you’re kissing on the mouth just to stay here
I keep watching wheels fall off the track

Car fire
with you tearing down my street
Even though you were whispering softly
head down
For a minute of relief
You should know you keep killing me softly
Dead dog lying cold in the tall reeds
Guns down with the prophecy complete
Double down
With your fists on the high keys
Even then you were whispering softly

Someone told me that a promise is a knife fight
Buzz you in everytime’s like the first time
While you’re kissing on the mouth just to stay here
I got all the time to wander back
While you’re kissing on the mouth just to stay here
I keep watching horses turn the track

Car fire
with you tearing down my street
Even though you were whispering softly
Head down
For a minute of relief
You should know you keep killing me softly
Dumb luck and the buckle of your knees
3-4 with the prophecy complete
Froze up
With your palm on the high beam,
Even then you were whispering softly

(Outro)
Dragging it up
You drank from the cup
In the hotel lobby
lucky in love
You should know better by now
Dusk is coming on"
