Nachtasyl from Coconut by rickoLus

Marry me she said and gave me a ring
I told her I wasn’t a stereo
I think she was a communist
sitting on the school stairs
drinking cheap liquor with juice
fighting the Nazis with her youth

I’m sorry I have to leave
I didn’t see the officers
and their scaring me
its hard to believe
you were out fighting fascists
with wolf black jeans
and little teeth
a pretty crazy thing

I paid my respects to the lord of punks
a catch in my chest from an instant crush
the rogue wrote for love and shit
but he never had the tongue for it
we sang old songs in the night asylum
under revolutionaries names on the wall

I’m sorry I have to leave
I didn’t see the officers
and their scaring me
its hard to believe
you were out fighting fascists
with wolf black jeans
and little teeth
a pretty crazy thing

I’m sorry I have to leave
I didn’t see the officers
and their scaring me
its hard to believe
you were out fighting fascists
under carnival lights
ghosts here still bleed
buildings are their shadows
take me to the next drink
walking down the street
to a song fashioned in my head
you should have seen
the marble walls deep pink
while the sun fell asleep
