Armistice Day

from Hosanna by Michael Pancini

/

lyrics

somewhere at a truck stop it is raining
someones getting ripped off and they're blaming you
but its not my fault that your gas gets so expensive
I just collect the cash it costs for the pumps outside to dispense it

every vacant stare shared with a stranger through filthy automobile windshields in the winter is such a solemn education and embarrassing flirtation every soul sits there sad slumped and wasted and you dream of your home town obtuse and astounded only to find out you never found it

once in a past life you were teenaged, how you made love how you made friends how you made so many mistakes dressed in a tube top and dollar store flip flops laughing out loud with your lungs full of ditch pot the gates of hell shall in no wise prevail against us

the sun only shone for your sake alone and the days would flatter you bare like the boys you would take home and your chest would fall and rise like the uneven tide on some uncharted ocean final goodbyes never seem final at the time, you lend me yours I'll lend you mine.

Somewhere is the future I will see you the cigarette smoke tangled up to the sky through the neon tubes
and I'll confess I've been sick since you left aren't you sick of this death well I am and I don't know myself a bit but I know myself better than I would Like To admit
I'm as simple as a tear drop, a jean skirt in seminary,
lonely as bicycle handle bars in January
cold as an old wedding ring discarded upon some counter top, left behind a list of debts that will never get paid off
but you make every movement so minuscule seem literary, every moment all of the sudden becomes legendary, parking lots stuffed up like civil war cemeteries speak to me like Keats, please
your the only friend I want, the only friend I need
