Three weeks you lived next door, and only now just

Thought to float your head around, ask me what's up

All the puzzle pieces laid out in the street

Soaked in the acid rain, trampled by both our feet

Go on without me now, a tattoo on your back

Cotton swabs and vinegar sometimes take the scratch out

Meant a lot to you, once upon a ride

But now I'm on the ground tonight

Songs are for telling, and records for show

Stole my split necklace half to see where I'd help you go

The other piece, it doesn't fit where I hoped

Go on without me now, a tattoo on your lip

Sucker punched to pucker up, can't forget the swelling

Meant a lot when you were hauling a long con

When I say long, I mean so long

Don my petticoat

Lace around my throat

Holding up my head

No good thoughts in it

Day trip to the lakeside with sick in your mouth

Share it with playboys whose names you still can't get down

Yellow-bellied, sunning to white

All the puzzle pieces don't change how you like

Go on without me now, a tattoo on your thigh

Taught you to put one foot first, how's the other, lagging behind?

Said a lot when you stayed backstage for the show

Call me when you need a plus zero
