poughkeepsie - lorkin o'reilly lyrics
[verse 1]
from the laundry room i can see the hallway floor
there’s a rope ladder hanging from the attic door
but the password’s in a language i don’t speak
could you be kind enough to guide these hands
[verse 2]
when i walk to light i see a child’s bike
there’s a man twice my age with saddle raised high
old movies come bootlegged in old cd sleeves
and cigarettes come single, a quarter a piece
oh poughkeepsie
[verse 3]
how fast and how ruthless route 9 becomes
how the high street, she cries “my death has begun”
there’s a word i saw carved in the bark of a tree
would you lend me your knife to sharpen my t**th?
oh poughkeepsie
[verse 4]
and on the church lawn there’s a message from your father above
it says “no guns allowed, stop playing god”
the big band leader sighs as he counts down to three
and we waltz between tables and empty seats
oh poughkeepsie
[verse 5]
in time i may find a reason to love you
in time we may learn to share with these
but now send me to bed with the windows locked
oh poughkeepsie
