Soap

There's all this dirt under my nails

Wouldn't you like to see where I went to high school?

Blood under my knuckles

You should've heard the way I

Spoke last night there's

Salt inside my mouth

Sugar on tongue

Freckles on my cheeks

From good old fashioned West Coast sun

I feel so beaten up and bruised

I don't know what I'm gonna do

I can't keep anything at all

From slipping through my raccoon claws

Except for

All

The soap under my nails

Can you imagine being back in high school?

Blood scratched from my knuckles

You should've called but I guess so should I

There's salt inside my veins

Sugar on my tongue

Crinkles by my eyes

From goddam fuckin' West Coast sun

I feel so beaten up and bruised

I don't know what I'm gonna do

I can't keep anything at all

From slipping through my raccoon claws

Except for

All

The soap under my nails

I never asked for this

I'm just one creature

Blood

Trapped in my knuckles

I don't know what I wanted

I didn't think it was this there's

Sugar in my mouth

Liquor on my tongue

Freckles on my cheeks

From fuckin' goddam West Coast fun

I feel so beaten up and used

I don't know what I'm gonna do

I can't keep anything at all

From slipping through my raccoon claws

Except for

All

The soap

And blood

And guts
