So I was at a party. And you can only
Pick one person that you can feel
Comfortable with and discuss the
Fleeting moment with,,, here
At Josies House.
So he picks her father. And he stands
Next to him, like old friends do.
And they go beyond the weather
Although the weather is important these
Days... And they linger on life itself.
And they nurture iced drinks.
Bloody Marys, made very well.
And the younger man speaks: "I'm gonna
Have a fine daughter someday
With another man's daughter and
It might as well be yours.
Josie's dad hauls off and he
Loves this guy with a kidney punch
To his heart. Yeah, he loves this
Guy on the floor, bathed in bloody
Maryand Josie's lipstick lips
Mixes well on the kid's stupid smile
on the floor.
If you look good being foolish
And handsome romancing the inevitable
End. Then lady luck can be a car.
And dinasaur skin fits all the way in
Pushes the little needle every mile
Is another page. Every hour lined with
A thousand things to pull you apart.
Every minute a slice of glory
Every Kiss a whole 'nuther story
With this girl who thinks you look good
