CVS from Hat Trick by Tan Sister Radio

Forget my past and heavy head
on a shoulder aged like expensive red
bought off the shelf at CVS
cause new circles under my eyes
match shade for shade
the darkening costume skies
painted on the backseat window
where Red's beaming girl good thoughts
it feels like I've always lived
and she cops to me landing the part
that all a Hollywood wished to be cast in
and I've ached to play

Meanwhile night fills up the car
and my shadow's always been too chicken
to join me in the dark so
alone I spin a yarn about a dream where
I eat you but from nerves
cough and vomit you into the bathtub
while the neighbors knock
you sigh "For God sakes take me home"
with an eye roll
and we trip up to home's threshold
where you'll sleep to sounds of poems
drifting up from on streets below
so on go my shoes
but on the mirror in the hall
I wrote out my whole heart
and couldn't fit every good line
or remember every good line
your lipstick was too thick
Maybe I'd like you as a problem Hunny
