Marduk T-Shirt Men's Room Incident
John Darnielle
Slumped up against the sink
Hair plastered to her cheeks
Marduk t-shirt sticking to her skin
Refugee from a disco in old east Berlin
Weightless formless blameless nameless
Stray syllables were gurgling
From her throat one at a time
Face hidden from my view
I let myself imagine she was you
Only weightless, formless, blameless, nameless
And when I washed my hands
I ran the water hotter than I could stand
Half rising to a crouch
Sinking back down to the floor
When you're walking keep your head low
Try to leave no traces when you go
Stay weightless, formless, blameless, nameless
