New Order T-Shirt
How you tapped on a box of blue American Spirits
At Anyway Café, a little under a month, before the ashes
And management capital files filled the streets
How we wove through the cones walkin' home to the place
On Atlantic, you shared with your hilarious sister
Kickin' off your black flats, demolished and laughin'
I keep what I can of you
Split-second glimpses and snapshots and sounds
You in my New Order t-shirt
Holdin' a cat and a glass of beer
When you rescued me from the customs cops in Hawaii
And I shut down the place with my Japanese novelty bomb
And your dad came along
How you had me lay down for a temperature check
With the cool of your hand on the back of my neck
When I said, "I think I'm finally goin' crazy, for real"
I keep what I can of you
Split-second glimpses and snapshots and sounds
You in my New Order t-shirt
Holdin' a cat and a glass of beer
I flicker through
I carry them with me like drugs in a pocket
You in a Kentucky aquarium
Talkin' to a shark in a corner
You in a bath on the phone, tellin' somebody
That maybe they're better off leavin'
Than stayin' in it alone
You in a bath on the phone, tellin' somebody
That maybe they're better off leavin'
Than stayin' in it alone
When you cried at the beach and recovered in seconds
And said, "Everythin"s fine," but I knew that it wasn't
Then you stayed out of reach of me for almost a year
How you looked like a poster of a 70s movie
Standin' outside at the base of your magazine skyscraper
Waitin' for me to go drinkin' downtown
I keep what I can of you
Split-second glimpses and snapshots and sounds
You in my New Order t-shirt
Holdin' a cat and a glass of beer
I flicker through
I carry them with me like drugs in a pocket
You in a Kentucky aquarium
Talkin' to a shark in a corner
I keep what I can of you
Split-second glimpses and snapshots and sounds
You in my New Order t-shirt
Holdin' a cat and a glass of beer
I flicker through
I carry them with me like drugs in a pocket
You in a Kentucky aquarium
Talkin' to a shark in a corner
At Anyway Café, a little under a month, before the ashes
And management capital files filled the streets
How we wove through the cones walkin' home to the place
On Atlantic, you shared with your hilarious sister
Kickin' off your black flats, demolished and laughin'
I keep what I can of you
Split-second glimpses and snapshots and sounds

Talkin' to a shark in a corner
