lyrics

Alaska

I showed you the forests
I showed you the lakes
You tried to run away
We all make mistakes

I took you from New Engeland
took you through all the states
I took you to California
And in every place we stayed

We made love
to the song of birds
we woke up in a motel
and you said that it hurt

You asked me for a quarter
to call your mom back home
or to go and eat some popcorn
in the colored gloam

I took you to Savannah
I took you to Detroit
You took off your clothes
right into the void

LOLITA

I’ve been your teacher
I’ve tried to be your dad
I’ve been your lover
in every other bed

I’ve been your driver
Tried to be your best friend
I’ll be the scar
that you will wear until the end

I never took you to Alaska
so that is where you went
I drove by to give some money
to pay your debts and pay your rent

“I’m sorry I cheated so much
but that’s the way things are”
she said while I hid my tears
and crawled back to my car

LOLITA

“He broke my heart
You merely broke my life”
echoes of unconsciousness
until I arrived

and the birds screamed
in the drenched and steaming trees
I opened the door
