You could eat your own Carnegie
Wrap me in your violent hair
Kick him in the water, do it nicely
Watch the fish swim through his fingers
I'm mouthing the words that I learned off of him
Perfume parties, desert fur
Pretty little fish in a switchback dress
Nine years old in the back of cars
I could lie with you like a sail
But it is sinking
If I loved you
I see myself in the hem of that dress
As they pulled it from the body
Take back the key from the unnamed breast
And I push the words back into the sea
I could lie with you like a sail
But it is sinking
If I loved you
