some names have been changed
to protect identities of the innocent

so just sit back and pretend that this one is
about some other friend...about some other friend

so you and me sat down at some diner in midtown
and you could hear the conversation from the table over
talking seeds and soil, trucks and lawnmowers

and it’s easier in nighttime when you had too much whiskey, maybe too much wine
and you wake up in the morning and you have to look at him
so you stare at your spoon, your upside down reflection

oh yeah.

april fifth- that blasted day
when you turned your head around
like the girl on the plane here
like freddy said in the hall of red

so why’d you have to get out
and put your coat on?
yeah, why’d you have to get out
and put your coat on?

yeah why’d you have to get out
and put your coat on?
