South union

South union Lyrics

I left you in the morning
still drunk on melodrama,
you're so pretty
so natural
but I had to salvage honor.
Down your spiral staircase
the television I bought you,
took a deep breath
of your endless love perfume.
The carnage that the storm left
six inches on the ground
the south side of chicago
stands eerily so sound.
I looked up at your window
hand out as if to touch you;
you used to be so perfect
why did I ever meet you?
