the avenue

streetlights are swinging
funny how they seem so dim
doesn't matter which way you're facing
still can't figure out where you've been
my arms are tired from waving
cadences are pounding through my head
i've already taken credit for
everything i've ever wished i'd said

some fine day
i'll cover my mouth and with a bullshit sneeze
blow out of here
leave the bowing for your made up memories
hope they serve you
like you wish i did
you never thought i deserved you
you never fooled anyone, kid
