pearl harbor day (voice memo) - jack van cleaf lyrics

Loading...

packing cancer in my glove box on a tuesday evening drive
as i’m p-ssing a [?], you are p-ssing through my mind
and my car is headed eastward while the sun is racing west
guess my body’s moving forward, but my mind is turning back

high school’s only checking boxes off a list:
getting kissed, taking hits, try hallucinogenics
and it’s not what you’d expect, but then again it’s what it is
i put my arm around you slowly, all my nerves are on the fritz

we get together on december the 7th
you remind me of why he was born to the heavens
on your birthday, seventy years from the present
as we celebrate, i’m counting my fingers like blessings

and you called me on my cellular phone
i’m on the road, up the coast, we booked a couple of shows
you asked me if i sing about you, i was sorry to say no
you said, “that’s okay, baby, i don’t write you any poems”

we’ll get together on december the 7th
you’ll remind me of why he was blown to the heavens
on your birthday, seventy years from the present
as we celebrate, count each other’s fingers like blessings

and you’d come over always so unexpected
picking fruit from the trees, i left unattended
playing word games, watching the vowels descending
like an air raid on sp-ces i had neglected

but if we both go uncommemorated by each other’s freeverse and lyrical phrases
we’ll be okay just driving familiar pavements
past our places, all wasted like forgotten faces
