Cherries From Yakima

I got a lot of money left
and a trunk full of blankets and monitors
I'll tell ya what my money gets
the stuff to keep me safe from the borrowers
and when housekeeping knocks
I disappear
the very thought of you in an unpacked box
I hear pajamas are in this year
I'm numb, but it's incredible
I'm numb, but it's incredible
I got a quarter of vortex
and a four-pound bag of Malt-o-Meal
I'm gonna board up the door next
I'm gonna let all the wallpaper peel
sleep all day
high all night
scare the last of the bad thoughts away
skip town if they stay to fight
I'm numb, but it's incredible
I'm numb, but it's incredible
that feeling quaking in my bones
limitless potential
rusted crowns on vacant thrones
I bought you cherries from Yakima
but California's so far away
I could only eat half of 'em
before I threw the rest in the bay
the guy who held me back
that guy is dead
and the girl on the end of the line
she asks me to repeat what I said
I said
I'm numb, and it's incredible
I'm numb, and it's incredible

somewhere
out where
you can smell the blood in the water
a seagull feeds her young
and all along the coast
we prepare for the slaughter
the tide is high
on birch bay tonight
and we are coming
apart
back when
we left
took the money and washed our hands
we spent half
of the egg
clearing out a local fireworks stand
and the night is new
I'm looking right at you
and you are looking
at me
we come broken and ready to pounce
three AM on the fourth of july
it still counts
sky's black
we're drunk
shooting stars in the parking lot
and there's some buckshot in the trunk
but they're onto us
and it's all we've got
so you cover up one eye
point it at the sky
the famine ends
tonight
break my neck and pick the bones
no complaining in this house
we make soup out of stones
