Jerry Quickley - Unicorn Anais lyrics
[Jerry Quickley - Unicorn Anais lyrics]
California has heaved it'self a thousand
Times lighter since you left yeah right
I know you were barely a buck
Twenty-five when you were here
The rest is the weight of your stars
The rest is the weight of
All the wildflowers you
Touched that spring we went to the Rincon
We followed them across the tracks
Down to the waterline
Fucking each other blind in the sea
The rest is the weight of
An empty passenger seat
Six of your hairs on the headrest
Now holding the weight of six gold bars
I still have the yams that you
Picked at the farmers market two weeks ago
I'm thinking of encasing them
In separate Lucite blocks
Like deal announcements on a banker's desk
I will store one
Op second trade craft say I've already
Said too much about that one
The other I will take with me
In a small custom case
It will go on tour with me
It will never leave my side
Your hand selected Lucite encased yam
Will be my quiet companion
It will be present in hotel rooms
On the nightstand or the sink
When I fuck strangers
Quietly taking it all in
Neutral and cool like you
But, your yam doesn't have a beating heart
It doesn't know my words before I speak them
It will never be my family or my lover
It won't fly with me to New York City
And get a sweet at the plaza
And it won't take me to the
Airport when I go to war
And it won't wait for me at the airport when
I come home from the zones for a visit
Your Lucite encased yam won't fire me and
Forgive me for choosing war over you
The yam you selected at the farmers market
Two weeks ago won't ever hold me
Press the side of it's jaw to mine
Fight the torque threatening to spin me away
And force me to be still
It will never breathe into my mouth
Your yam has better manners then you
It will never ask my female friends
To join us in bed
It will never make secret calls
Drive through the night and surprise me
Your yam will be everything you were not
It will be well behaved, it will reject yoga
It will be tacit
It will never find a metal on
A state line or border
And stop to fuck in two places at once
It won't show up at my house after
Disappearing for a year and not talking
Climb into bed for three days
It will never slap my shit
Uncle for being a jerk
It will never ask to sleep on top of me
It will forgive me my work in the warzones
It will witness me you're gone
In a moment of light
In a swirl of big pharma
In a daffy patch of ignorance, pain and love
And I will continue to gain
Out every other possible outcome
I don't know how to stop i will continue
To drag this river of memory
Looking for your body
Times lighter since you left yeah right
I know you were barely a buck
Twenty-five when you were here
The rest is the weight of your stars
The rest is the weight of
All the wildflowers you
Touched that spring we went to the Rincon
We followed them across the tracks
Down to the waterline
Fucking each other blind in the sea
The rest is the weight of
An empty passenger seat
