Lucky Cat

East coast clouds cover the chemtrails We're collecting fossils in the low tide It's a slow ride through the memories Well-known bands and unknown feelings A lucky cat calling from the dashboard To a crash course on how to lose a friend The way you mispronounced my name The curses you fired at every other driver I swear I liked it for a while And I can still recall the feeling When we'd stare beyond the ceiling Unfold that blinking dot into a planet And I would let you have it I moved in cause you made me believe that The houseplants are greener on the west side Then you left, I should just let them die I'm doing fine but when the midnight Freight train shakes the mirror in the bathroom Wish I could pass through into another life Where deep behind the double glaze We'd sit and watch the people go to places Where people going to places go Cause I can still recall the feeling When we'd stare beyond the ceiling Unfold that blinking dot into a planet And I would let you have it Bonded over dysfunctional families The enemy of the enemy is my friend Endangered creatures raised in captivity We'll devour each other in the end There's that disposable camera picture Still stuck to my wall It's only me in it I'm standing in the water I'm looking at the shore Behind me it's infinite
