Contramelt B

Compound to compound

Unsentimental, driving around
Sure of myself, sure of it now
You stand this close to me
Like the future was supposed to be
In the aisles of the grocery
And the blocks uptown

I remember, remember well
I remember, remember well

In the shadow of your first attack
I was questioning and looking back
You said, "Baby, we don't speak of that"
Like a real aristocrat

In the shadow of your first attack

Cause honey with you,
Is the only honest way to go
And I could take two
But I really couldn't ever know

Honey with you
And a little battered radio
We could try

I know, you'll say I'm not doing it
I know you'll say I'm not doing it

That night I smoked a joint with my best friend

He was a diplomat's son
It was '81
