Tonight the hungry boys are out looking for all the hungry girls Delilah says & that’s just the way it is
Just the way it’s always been all those hungry girls all those hungry boys their naked ribs bright as vibraphones
Shined by the tracks of somebody’s sweat & as I look back at those nights claws bared & bloody
I wish I could remember just one thing that tasted even a little like tenderness & of all the things I wanted
I never once meant to fool you into thinking I was simply your ordinary guy who just took a wrong turn
Somewhere on those streets dissolving sweet as lightning along the pitch & ink of summer sky
