Bonaduces Catherine O'clock
In Portland, the nightmares got so bad I was giving up
sleeping. You were all I had in the hours I was keeping.
Baggy-eyed in an all night restaurant. Sucking back
coffee straight from the coffee pot. Swapping stories of
our childhood and always stumbling. Trying to get the
words together but they weren't coming. Laughing to
ourselves and wearing what we're finding. Knee-deep in
the world and going dumpster diving. I spent alot of time
making constellations from the freckles on your face.
That one's Patty Duke. That one's a manta ray. The time
went by and all we did was try to forget about the stupid
lives we left behind. And the only time I know was when I
was with you. Allergic to the kittens you were dragging
home, but everytime they purred it reminded me of why I'd
left and why it was so worth it. All curled up and lying
on a bed of concrete with the only person in this world
more f..cked than me. Chorus.
