the pipes pt. 2 (bay of pigs) - joplin rice lyrics

Loading...

did i never tell you about my friend?
you locked him in rooms watching foreign ships
he never spoke of those days again
working your ways in the bay of pigs
he sat me down by the grandfather clock
spoke through the seasons of musical walks
planted a flagpole when clouds came to fall
left me unbraided and pinned to the wall

and i don’t know how she fits into this
i brought you to life so you could hear me hiss
i’m still holding her kiss with my brittle fist
why are we left by the ones that we should never miss?

you never built him a monument
a flame for my reckless accomplishments
signing his name on a hospital bed
shining the bullet inside of his head
now he’s a stone in a barren yard
she’s just a name carved into my arm
you’re a historical bleeding heart
i’m a projection of broken parts

and i don’t know how we fit into this
i’m still rattling bones for my soul to fit
alone with the ghost & my fake famous friend

she’s at the airport & i’m floating by the pipes because i still can’t admit
