Coke Jaw Grins

Rocky's got her heels up on the bar Marlboro Black between her claws She says we are what we pretend to be Through the lipstick on her teeth Sometimes you wonder if you made up the whole thing The boy you were, the man she swore she thought you'd be Sitting tight beneath the tree You wouldn't climb, she wouldn't wait And when she fell she'd say Don't you say it Don't you say it Don't you say it, boy It's like you never said goodbye You never looked her in the Coke jaw grin runs side to side She knows you're not afraid to die But so afraid to be alive Pupils eating irises Look your way and you Pretend you don't notice When all you want is to be wrong The green is gone, the green is gone The green is gone, the green is gone Gone It's like you never said goodbye You never looked her in the Coke jaw grin runs side to side She knows you're not afraid to die But so afraid to be alive She says we are what we pretend to be She says we are what we pretend to be She says we are what we pretend to be Red lingerie beneath the gray hoodie You let her keep when she could say nothing When you could feel wet grass beneath your feet When she was planted In the concrete Planted In the concrete Planted In a different scene It's like you never said goodbye You never looked her in the Coke jaw grin runs side to side She knows you're not afraid to die But so afraid to be alive Rocky's got her heels up on the bar Marlboro Black between her claws She says we are what we pretend to be But you could never make believe She's falling down with you
