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
