Sunspots
Music & Lyrics by Billy Z Duke

i'm not your friend and we're not even
and i'd appreciate it if you didn't call me again
she said i don't know much about being invisible
as she lay down in a pool of sound so clear
and disappeared

keep afloat like a bottled note
too busy drafting and scrapping to notice the boat
now i understand why Picasso demanded
that both her eyes be on the same side of her face
fixing her in place

and if i'm lucky i'll catch
another glimpse
before the apocalypse
devours the moon
and flattens the mountains
alive in the heat
sunspots and inkblots
and groceries still in the car
parked outside the bar

read your stars and count your cards
and lick up the salt from the tears that you kept in a jar
she said i'm never sure what they mean by inflammable
as she got wired
and her arm caught fire in the den
counting back from ten

and if i'm lucky i'll catch
another glimpse
of her apocalypse
devour the moon
and flatten the mountains
alive in the heat of the
sunspots and inkblots
and groceries still in the car
parked outside the bar
