Watercolours into the Ocean

listening to strawberry wine
 for the 131st time
 it was 1987 and it was spring
 it's 1987 all the time
 now it's 1987 all the time
 well we were there
 too thin too fair
 downing your third drink
 standing at arm's length
 in the square
 just off
 a mildly successful
 killing rampage
 where good writers go
 to find one thing
 and stick with it
 oh life
 is bigger
 than a life on the run
 from the united states
 and her friends
 on this night
 made of jewels
 it took three
 carabinieri
 to peel em off the streets of the town
 she's named after
 dragging the lagoon was a disaster
 they found him alive and
 relatively well
 well some situations
 seek redressing
 some songs just
 go testing, testing,
 i took a picture
 i was sick of motion
 and wore her watercolours into the ocean
 and wore her watercolours into the ocean
