Ten Dakota days
In a motel forgot its name
What you give and what you get are not the same
The widows are weeping poems
Someone tickled across that old box of bones
Give me a drink before I die and I'll explain
You throw down your heart like a glove
Someone is sure to pick it up
Tell me untitled love
Are we dancing in our blood again
And I know this chocolate box is not for free
But you rented a light on in a hotel not for me
Our photograph has run outta words
And so have we
So I smoke a cigarette
Breathe in the ghost long ago laid to rest
Tell me girl
Did you slip from your ring and your pretty dress
And I sleep now hard and torn
Where once wisdom smelled like the newly born
Let me uncork it now
In the punch drunk capital of the world
And I know this chocolate box is not for free
But you rented a light on in a hotel not for me
And our photograph has run outta words
And so have we
