OOO

OOO (a song)

black cars on a rainy night
head lights pastel smelter jury
on the court house steps
there's a necktie hanging from the hood
ornament of a pink limousine.

ooo that feeling at 2 a m (refrain)
that feeling at 2 a m

beach scars on a wink stained groom
clock ticking alarm goes off from
the next room
the world is dripping away from a rusty faucet
a priest corners an altar boy
the face of a loved one buried in a cardboard locket

(refrain)

moans through the houses of the dead
the constant swaying of her dress
and the drapes and the white light of the venetian blinds
so much to remember so much to forget
I lay my head down on a bed
that isn't mine.

(refrain)
