lyrics

The Tempe water tower hangs in the distance
It’s five o’clock fast and the 422 is a-missing
I studied my feet and made play with my glasses
A statue of patient bronze

The timetable says 4:27
Shall I knot my hands or let them run heavy?
No person to whom
I could unbend my mind

I should have stayed at the club
Within the ambit of fun
What did you meet the one who saw that:

If I could summon the ghosts of the Coptic church down the highway
Will they bless the cotton socks of the 422?
I sharpened my teeth and waited at the bus top
Slouching towards Tempe Jets

I can feel my hair grow dank in the salt air
Shall I prove my mettle and go the whole hog?
No person to whom
I could unbend my mind

I should have stayed at the club
Within the ambit of fun
What did you meet the one who saw that:
