Destroyer Watercolours Into The Ocean

listening to strawberry wine

for the 131st time

it was 1987 and it was spring

its 1987 all the time

now its 1987 all the time

well we were there

too thin too fair

downing your third drink

standing at arms length

in the square

just off

a mildly successful

killing rampage

where good writers go

to find one thing

and stick with it



oh life

is bigger

than a life on the run

from the united states

and her friends

on this night

made of jewels



it took three

carabinieri

to peel em off the streets of the town

shes named after

dragging the lagoon was a disaster

they found him alive and

relatively well



well some situations

seek redressing

some songs just

go testing, testing,

i took a picture

i was sick of motion



and wore her watercolours into the ocean

and wore her watercolours into the ocean
