90s Life

You’re a ghost
Just a lump inside my throat
In the middle of the night
I can see you, painted white
That’s the colour of the string
That I’m wearing like a ring
I was fashioning a way
I was sure that you would stay
Stay
Stay
Stay
Let’s not fight
Do you remember all those nights
When we’d turn out all the nights
Salty bedrooms
Sour minds
Zip your dress
Tie my tie
We are animals in line
Everybody, float in time
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Tell me why?
So
Stop and think
Like a drunk without a drink
Like a sailor on the shore
I will wait behind the door
To be sure
But I’m not afraid
Of a god who makes us wait
He’s just wasting all our time
It’s a crime
I am sure
Sure
Sure
Sure
Tell me why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
