Flickering' Light
Words by Bryon Bowers
Flickering' Light
By the pool bathroom doors
Everyone else asleep
My eyes locked on yours
You were climbing in my head
your forest wild and pulsing
Your hand an eager forest guide
Our chemistry immediate
Pretend to the bathroom
Over the fence
Into the pool
I was a bull
without a brain
You an insane tiger
high on cocaine
[Chorus]
Wild animals Swimming'…
on a Cool Saturday Night..
Cricket Symphony…
Riding stars on pale moonlight..
Bull with no brain…
Tiger cocaine…
Slowly floating'
Til' Sunday Morning
Sometimes love comes…
Warm no warning…
Gave you a ride home next morning
In front of everyone
You were a church princess
Alone with me
A love Sorceress
Wild unyielding
Biting and scratching
Primal and climbing
[Chorus]
Cucumber lotion in the park
Club house movie
that we never watched
Grama sent little brothers
As crazy love buffers
Got to your house
My little brother had to pee
Found out your mom
was as racist as could be
You said you weren't
But I said family dinners
might be a little awkward
[Chorus]
We collided one more time
Against my better judgement
We talked more that night
Than any other
I dropped you off
our last kiss goodbye
I said take care
as you began to cry
As you walked in
your racist mom
waved goodbye
wish I'd flipped her off
as I drove away…
[Chorus]
