lyrics
Two women stare into the camera
Trying not to smile
To one of them it came easily
For the other one it took a while.
You chose them for this reason,
And the spacing of their eyes.
Said, they looked like prey and predator
On a smoke break from an endless fight.
When I felt you changing
I stayed the same.
You said I was a caveman
Afraid of a flame.
Said, the best years of your life have been wasted.
Always blacked out, or crashing,
Working day shifts with the shakes.
In our apartment
All your photos on the bed
You walked around in your underwear
In a heat wave drunk and underfed.
I grabbed a picture
Of a beggar in the park
On his knees at the feet pedestrians
In a crown he’d made from MetroCards.
I said, “Guess times are hard for
The King of New York.”
You unhooked your bra, dropped it on the floor
and said, “This city’s full of little wars.”
When I felt you changing
I stayed the same.
You said I was a caveman
Afraid of a flame.
Said, the best years of our lives had been wasted
Stashing cash tips in the mattress,
Slinging well shots for the snakes.
(Wash this filthy city from your skin with me.)
(We’ll cut our hair and burn our things and leave by spring.)
I heard what you said
And chose to stay instead.
(Wash this filthy city from your skin with me.)
(We’ll cut our hair and burn our things and leave by spring.)
You got a husband, I saw
He treats you real nice.
He’s gentle and blonde
And smiles with his eyes.
You found a nice job
And make art when there’s time.
The garden you planted
Has started to bloom.
You’ll finish the plans
For the baby come June.
You put a new crib
In your old darkroom.
At my place there’s a box
Of photos you took.
Some nights, when it’s hot
I can’t help but look.
And I thought you should know
The King’s still on his knees
But, I wish he’d stand up,
Throw his arms around me
And say, “Don’t get confused,
just do what you do.
This city could use
a good caveman like you.”
“Yeah, this city could use
A good caveman like you”
I feel it. I see it. I feel it. It’s moving
I feel it. I see it .I feel it. Always moving
