Notes from a Cult Classic

from Modern Love, The Wooden Vehicle by The Lives of Famous Men

/

lyrics

The shoulders and arms that we invested
in the summer
were bridges we built in lo-fi
and quiet talk.
And I am scared to death that this
one will turn another and
we will abandon all our plans.

You know this isn’t us.

If only I could reach you.
If only I could reach through the phone to
tell you everything
an able mouth would say, maybe,
maybe things would be OK.

Dallas is burning overhead this caravan,
immune to age and
advertising disregard.

Don’t go asking of yourself now.

A desperate attempt to fashion you
a brand new tourniquet over
empty signals and verbs.
