Harper, angel
her medicine pops
like pop rocks
and she’s now
passing by the
ozone believing
in miracles
body on a bench
on the dock
by the bay
but my soul
drifts away,
floating with you
Seattle is heaven, goddam what a beautiful view
Harper, angel
I learned the lesson
out from the rock
and I’m now
passing through
the ceiling
and in a flash,
just like that,
everything was gone
body on a bench
on the dock
by the bay
but my soul
drifts away,
floating with you
Seattle is heaven, goddam what a beautiful view
unstable
but pretty goddam beautiful
you’re shining
like no fucking other
I’ve always been
and still have been
a trainwreck
but off the rails
makes you my prophet
you believe in miracles
i might see you smile tonight
body on a bench
on the dock
by the bay
but my soul
drifts away,
floating with you
Seattle is heaven, what a fucking beautiful view
body on a bench
on the dock
by the bay
but my soul
drifts away,
floating with you
Seattle is heaven, goddam what a beautiful view
