The Tragically Hip Greasy Jungle

greasy jungle, metropolis noir
easy tangles the easiest so far

i drove down your road to hazeldean where i tasted
your funeral home's sandwiches and coffee
i saw your hands melt into one another
i saw you grieve and grow, care a lot about one another

i stood at your sink and i felt your warm water
i washed your dishes and i looked out your kitchen window
where i saw a soulful gymnast melt in the air and shudder
just above the snow, making moves that just weren't there

velvet callow with wet hands, i turned out the lights
and breathing shallow, hesitated then went upstairs where i
picked up your housecoat, dried my hands and touched your hair
and just then you awoke, you could never really barely care
