Playhouses

Playhouses
Swept away by the river now
Confounded
Sound it out now

Vodka cran in your hand
And who's little girl are you now?
Oh, I'd ask for this dance
But I know you play like you don't know how
What your coy smile exposes
A recent memory of when we shit our bed of roses
And I know the moon above is shining down
But not for our love

So for who?
So for who?

Beneath the cigarettes and sugar shit of alcohol breath
I can taste the ocean of your tongue
Remember when we sat on the side walk
Of your cold block
Against the wall
Under the stars
Talking about love's meaning
Well, I wasn't dreaming
I meant every word
Just didn't know your demons
Do you know mine, babe?
Are we wastin' time, babe?

Playhouses haunted by
Broken spirits
Just trying to get high
Well we chose this course
But the weather changed
And the river froze and went it thawed
It was runnin' backwards and dry now
I suppose it's appropriate to cry now
Over wasted time
And naked lies
Still get wasted sometimes
