Newport News

Joe Pernice

Sadly I woke up in Connecticut
In some Nightingale’s art deco Murphy bed
And the wall-to-wall shag loneliness
Was more fuel on the burning mess
I hope you saw the flames before they died
Your brother is a friend I’ll hate to lose
He said you’re somewhere down in Newport News
I don’t blame him for being vague
I probably would have done the same
Though if someone’s going to bleed it won’t be you
If you needed the heat from another light
That’s a metaphor I’d believe
But if it makes no difference to you
The way you get what you need
Tell me why my love was so easy to leave
I caught a dragon bus to Chinatown
I bought some knock-off shoes and knocked around
Then I stood where Prince meets Lafeyette
I won’t forgive and I won’t forget
But I’d kiss your ass to kiss your ass again
Let’s tie a knot in this
If not I know the poison will soak all the way through
I’d swear on your soul I forgive any
Right to stick it back at you
