roy's outside the quikstop
asks a stranger to buy him a mad dog
you're in the firebird waiting
you dont see this happening
on a day like this you dont have to
be here in the mountains mist
think back to home, back to gladstone
football in oak grove park
tellin roy mindless things
waiting for company
mickey would come, right
and so would the others
hitching rides from eachother
and he's the star of the show
the famous QB from missouri
he says that it's you but you know that aint true
wish you'd seen it then
the one time, was snowing
layered up to 11
met up at the park, roy's chuffin a dart
waitin for the crew
hour out in the cold you'd chatted
then wrestled, and then
he flashes a grin and you raise him a smile
and u spoke a growl
thinkin that was when
you fell in the gravity well
couldnt escape, didnt want to
started to burn in the atmosphere
with nothin to shield you and youre still here
and hes the heart of the team
the famous roy angelo, from the MO
he says that its you but you know that aint true
now you see it clear
Back to the car
mad dog in hand and his registered grin
you start up the 'bird and you dont say a word
and youre smiling

we're at the parking lot of denny's
off i-64, in the mountains
i think it's west virginia
roy thinks deep kentucky
it's the late night menu hour
no clock in the firebird
I made that guess based
on all the songs we've heard
And in a rush of something
I dont want to word tonight
I take his oldest offer and
We get too high to drive
And we dont go inside
Most an angel ever
we reek of grass, need a shower
Tried to lay his head down on me
But the glovebox won't allow it
Spoke a word i didnt hear
Knew through fog and tension
a thing we knew of long ago
And never thought to mention
I think its how this happens
Cant know til i do
Eggs for dinner’s seeming rad
But mostly just with you
that sound cool to you?

im a fan of the way you move
or whatever dumb phrase i tend to use
i wanna make you swoon
am i beautiful to you?
youre driving like a demon on wheels
you told me not to speed, and yet
we're going 90 on i-64
are you angry? it feels like you are
out sipping on gas station wine
i'm seeing double, i see u less
al have i said, youre my reason to live?
...man, you must be pissed.
but you turned, and i saw you
allen, i said, youre gorgeous
with a glare that says you rather i don't
do what i do to cope
caught me as i cough it out
uncool and nothing like i dreamt
i spill my guts in dad's '78

its daybreak then its afternoon
and youre staring at the ceiling
of a motel 6 before richmond
the radio says "stand by me"
you turn your head aside
to take roy's softest face in
yeah he's sleeping, seems alright,
things just haven't been great
you hope he'll wake up better
but you know him
there's a game roy used to play
you remember how he'd do it
when you were younger kids
he'd mispronounce a word again
again until you'd flip
a game he always wins
god, you hope he sleeps ok
takes all the guts you have
keep wishing to those ends
his eyes flutter open
wish he'd slept another hour
breakfast isn't normal
he's on edge and he fidgets
he's rambling again
you're out the door at half past 4
pay the late check out fee
and you thank them
as youre walking to the car
he says MAN I CANT DO THIS
then he leaves his bags with you
walks out to the road, and shouts
"gods not gonna stop me!"
and when it comes,
when it comes,

Allen
Getting soft on you while
Traveling
I dont expect an ounce of
Kindness in return
That smile you’ve got has long been earned
O Allen
Fletcher
That’s what they call you in the
Bleachers
The kids in track would love to
Tear your heart in half
They’d do it just for laughs,
O Allen
I’ve been
Dying maybe, not the phrase
I’d be too keen to use today
But born perhaps, a reason, maybe you
Melodrama words I guess
You know I don’t speak the best
But youve picked up on all the context clues
Allen
Wish you wouldn’t see
How I have been
For once to say that I am
Glad you’re by my side
Despite the rising tide
O Allen
Devil
It’s what I’d call myself
But, You won’t
Like maybe I am
Worth a half of what you gave
Running and afraid
O Devil
