Soda Acid Served As A Consellation Sign
Maybe if I weren't so cautious,
I would know as to why
You were leaving on for Paris
Making me wish I could play
Like Marilyn and the whole scene;
With every excuse you and I with draw,
I begin to hate those walls even more
With Elvis Presley drawings
Because I start to realize the
Color of your dorm
If it's any constellation,
I just had to wish you weren't
Gonna stand me up tonight
As I watched the acid in my soda
Play children's games
And sing Ring Around the Rosy
I saw your car driving down
That old back highway
You're just an outdated Casanova
And I saw the ending of the script
Trying to swim near in a row boat
Made of ivory emotions
Just like Audrey had once had
When we were drag racing
And taking a drag
In those Elvis Presley wave lengths
Even when I see the ruby red writing
The color of your locker
If it's any consellation,
I just had to wish you weren't
Gonna stand me up tonight
And as I watched the acid in my soda
Play children's games
And sing Ring Around the Rosy
I saw your car driving down
That old back highway
I may see the mangled shreds
Because nothing has gone right:
I'm trying to pick at the sore scabs
Of childhood weakness'
Even when Grace requested your offer,
I saw her later that night
Making some new wounds on a bed
Where Elvis Presley sang
It all goes down in some dumb version
Of the hue of your mistakes
Oh, oh,
Wait for the story,
A generic pop song
That no one seems to sing;
Lay her down in the sheet
And steal another thing
In a little coin purse
Of regrets and no time
To leave her studies askew
Tell me,
Tell me,
Tell me, Elvis Presley please,
What had I done wrong
To see him in his sad
Excuse for a car
Drivin' down the highway
With a sad excuse for a broad?
It's just a fight for a good time,
But that's been left at home
Ready for the early bird news
Just like Betty had said
He'll have nine to five bomb
As another warning sign
In case nine broken hearts wasn't enough
To satisfy the lavender colored lust
He got when he was driving around
If it's any consellation,
I just had to wish you weren't
Gonna stand me up tonight
As I watched the acid in my soda
Play children's games
And sing Ring Around the Rosy
I saw your car driving down
That old back highway
