Maxwell Demon Rock Hand Jive (or some Bizarre Collab with a hot chick)
I felt the eyes upon me, like a Space Oddity out of control. I moved in and I moved out. A silent swerve from the door to a bar at midnight and I'm buying a round. There's nothing I can do. But drink it in and drink it down.
A guitar rift and a drifting mind. The bartender called me Lazarus and I looked down at my scars.
"Look up here man. I'm in danger!"
I screamed it out but it was silent and played itself out in another line.
The Troubadour was running somewhere behind a blue bird smile and I wondered to myself about freedom and fame and selling myself to the cash of the day.
Commencing countdown, I say and I'm a space cadet with cosmetic dreams, just hovering above you and me and this makeshift narrative that leads from you to her to me.
"And I think I know which way my spaceship goes..."
I toss back another shot and take it in.
We lock eyes and I cut my gaze to her
"I just wish it'd been me, I wish I'd thought of it,"
She nodded like she's heard my thoughts.
I'm ten feet tall and I know I need to walk it back. I came down for the age solar, I say.
And you look at me like it's something you comprehend.
I smile and order another round.
There's amphetamines in my pocket and a fuck in your smile and you're saying things like you're a makeshift Kurt Wilde and I'm buying the danger in your eyes
It's a steam steady roller and your smiles lying and we're a trio outside of here.
Reckless and lost. Tired of wasting gas outside of the atmosphere.
Bring it down to the boys of Quadrant 44, she said and I looked her up and down. Those boys and their viscious metal hounds, they don't come around here no more. But I let her talk until her eyes found my words.
I was looking for Oscar Wilde and emerald dreams. I don't belong here, I thought and she mumbled something akin to check ignitions and there was a moment of me and nothing and fear and a quiet throw of hands metal horns and surfer slang and a hundred thousand miles of standing still.
I can't take your eyes, she says, Heroic and strong.
I laugh it off and clutch my heart, unusual beat. It's a die a little later moment and speedball to my mind.
I push you out and away. But I nodded and let you go
"Sometimes I wonder if I'm still alive," I say to no one and nothing, maybe the 44 boys...I was was 6 feet down in July...in November...how do I walk it back down?
