Bilingual
The facts of my life then, laid out like tea leaves
Your mouth glistened like a kitchen
Your adam's apple rattled like a kettle
I put soapy bubbles on my face
I looked just like father christmas
Twelve others wounded with drink on the deck
I haven't slept through the night once this year yet
I said I liked your smile
No wait, that's not right
It's that you looked like you walked out of the movies
Crying and shaking, shaking and crying
I was your witness, I was your witness
I was your witness then
For just a moment I forgot your chestnut hair
In the mirror, in the frame of a desiccated shack
On stilts like a monster gaping mouth
Rising up out of the south
Rising up out of the south
Crying and shaking, shaking and crying
I was your witness, I was your witness
I was your witness then

And the hall smelled of new shoes
And the hall smelled of new shoes
And the hall smelled of new shoes
And the hall smelled of new shoes
And the hall smelled of new shoes
And the hall smelled of new shoes
