I remember puking down the side of the car
The cost of drinking liquor from the mouth of a jar
Leaning on the fender and declaring that we’d name a star
Tramping through the brambles til our pants were all torn
Searching for a paper bag of mildewy porn
Reflecting on the neverending question – why had we been born?
Happiness bleeds all over you and me

I remember stumbling down the side of the road
Reeling from the ill effects of licking a toad
Bobbing and weaving and waiting for the sun to explode
Hour after hour throwing rocks at a sign
Looking for the weapon on the leafy incline
Swearing it’s the first you’ve ever seen it
Screaming it’s not mine
Happiness bleeds all over you and me

I remember sadness at the edge of your eyes
Surrounded by the darkness of a dead winter sky
Something like a kiss upon the temple
And the word goodbye
There were never devils living under the stairs
There were never angels in your grandmother’s hair
There has never ever been another that I could compare
Happiness bleeds all over you and me
