sleepover (mary's bed)

I sleep in mary's bed
when mary's not home
and I'm not home
strange children's pictures
that they keep on their walls
and their closets full of clothes
I wait downstairs
for mary to come home
when mary comes home
I'll be in the basement
waiting waiting waiting waiting

I bet you had a neon taste about you
dripping down the back of your tongue
I bet you had a neon taste when we were young
her hair is many yellow risings
many colored strands of dawn
I'd love to fit her on my fist
and rake her all across my lawn
I'm angry as the goose that nearly
bit your mother's fingers off
I'm rocking in my chair I'm pulling
grass and hair out from my skull
I bet you never knew how much I loved you
always want to touch your skin
peel it all away to get to your dried figs
deep inside your room we'd never hear this train

I would spit out a perfect green diamond for you
from the mouth of the child I keep locked in my room
at the end of the hall in a room that was yours
long ago but that's all gone away now for sure
and I wait for the wonderful things to come out of the water
and I've thrown all my terrible dreams in a box in the water

I keep a sister in a room above my head when I sleep
at the top of the stairs always there when I need
a little help in my dreams or when I'm scared
and these days now I'm constantly scared
screaming little baby
gonna name her Ellie
are we still a family
if the dogs are gone
are they off the leash again
wandering down the street again
but that was so long ago
went back to our old house
everything was ripped out
all the floors are boards now
and the dogs are gone
screaming little baby
thought his name was Sammy
but that was so long ago

all black (empty room)

then you'd come back
dye your hair black
forget all about having kids
take the mattress
we'll sleep in our clothes all black
dark sunglasses
cigarettes
get ourselves some leather jackets
endlessly drive
we've got the whole night all black
kick it faster
through the vein
we'll be shut-ins close the curtains
draw back the shades
we'll turn the whole day all black
now I come back
empty black room
- - -
let me go back
let me close my eyes all black
