Rubberskin

Angry silhouette with a sensitive ear
The cops are on speed dial
The phone is near

Cans of cat food
Meatballs in cans
Rubberskin
And no lines in her tan

A carton of smokes and a lighter from the Co-op in town
A ten minute drive is not enough to let go of that frown

Thanksgiving dinner,
Dollar store deco
Christmas lights
And a front yard canvas
Star-shaped balloons
And shiny things
Around her tree,
Around her tree

That's when I found out
She died.

Eleanor Rigby with the perfect mullet
Was found on her floor
When her home was quiet
The horns we blew when we were kids
All rang at once
When we heard about it
When we heard about it
When we heard about it
When we heard about it
