Redinaw is burning
I lean on the bathroom door
See Arizona like
Never before
Metal haunts the desert
And the orchestra just tunes
I part the blinds
And I glare at the dunes
Oh girl you move me oh girl you do
You wrote your number
On my hand
I made a fist of it
Won’t open it again
Caught in the shadow
Of your wings
I miss the coverall
And the little peace it brings
In the rude light of long bars
Newborn feelings
Writing you a letter
Up against the steering wheel
Softly it honks and I
Know how it feels
Tryna hold the car keys
Trembling like an old cartoon
I try to think
Of the trash on the moon
Oh girl you move me oh girl you do
I found your lipstick
In my bag
Too soon to throw it out
Too late to give it back
Know how your heart hangs
From a string
I touch the telephone
And I try to make it ring
And it’s always all night now
Newborn feelings
I locked the door
And I slid down to the tiles
Slip in the bedsheets
Heavy restless child
Pile your jackets upon me
I don’t mind
You’re glad to see me
What a line
I’ve fallen for that one
Way way too many times
Try on the perfume
And it clings
Light on the evergreens
And I wanna cue the strings
On the dark roads of square states
Newborn feelings
