Cerise Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Newspaper Gown (Tribute to The Blood Brother's "Love Rhymes With Hideous Car Wreck") It's delicate, she said, like you could smash it with a fist or peel it back in ribbons like the skin upon her wrist or if the petals softly bruise there's really nothing left to lose what rhymes with pity now? It's complicated now, like your double helix jeans wrapped around a sultry blonde who looks all of seventeen well if she kisses with her eyes then it comes as no surprise what rhymes with pity now? It was the small things at first before your hunger got worse and when her skin didn't fit you tried to cram it all in like putting stars under glass things just hot heated too fast and when she called your name all you could think of were flames An accident they said, like the car drove on its own to a twisted metal orgy and a broken mobile phone And in the hospital he waits but there will be no second date And when he dreams at night he doesn't think of his life the only name he recalls isn't familiar at all what rhymes with pity now? love, love, love love, love, love love, love love, love, love, love
