Peaches going soft
On the sill where you left them to turn
Every dog on this block knows my name Won't come when I
call it the same
Wanting more
than a body can hold Is a rent I can't make
I'm doing what I can
Drove past your street at a crawl Hands at ten and two
Somebody's kid drew chalk saints on the drive And the rain ran
their faces clean through Sun cuts you in slats on my wall
I can still taste the salt on the back of your teeth I
play you back
On the tape I chewed through
Pitched up sweet Till you're barely even you Holy and cheap God
in the drywall, watching too
I was never that good in the light But I'm good at
it, quiet, at night
Porno mind
Rewind
Won't quit
All night
With the mouth I swore I'd keep shut
Said your name twice,
said it down into a cup Somebody's song,
somebody's floor One shoe on and spilling out a stranger's front door
where I swore there was nothing I wanted more Grace is a
car with the engine still warm in the drive of a house
I don't live in no more And away from you
August came, said your name,
made it worse Said it in the voice I only ever use
with the dog and the dark and the dirt Wet cement,
laughing eyes, holding breath Praying the only prayer I got — let
me get one more look at your neck
I play you back On the tape I chewed through
Pitched up sweet Till you're barely even you Holy and cheap God
in the drywall, watching too
I was never that good in the light
But I'm good at it,
quiet, at night (ooh)
We were beautiful once
We were beautiful, both Now it's me
and the tape And the tape don't hold
(ooh, ah)
Porno mind Rewind Won't quit
All night
Porno mind
