Ol' blue hair

Can't make it last, watching gin and soaks fall
Losing count, suddenly it's last call
She picks it up, wishes us happy new year
Wants to talk, I pretend I didn't hear
Pocketbook, fill it up with lemonade
Counts her change, knocks one back for flag day

I care more than you might imagine
She's just my elderly companion
Unlevelled speaking to the ceiling
Sickened by the feeling
To constantly be breathing in and out

I've been saving up for when I'm running down
Less coke for me, baby, you can mix that for me now

String of shells clashing with her face paint
Remember once underneath her heart raced
Bad tooth aching from the ice cube
Panic youth, that ain't you she's talking to
She didn't work tending to her dog's grave
Probably be buried by the same faith

I care more than you might imagine
She's just my elderly companion
Unlevelled talking to the ceiling
Sickened by the feeling
To constantly be breathing in and out

I've been saving up for when I'm running down
Less coke for me, baby, you can mix that for me now

I forgave
Why don't you forgive?
