The Lasting Last of You

I remember the passing trains
 Leaves fall in the yard
 Just like Hannukah
 You stayed upon the wall
 Briefly all things considered
 So it goes
 But the line was open
 The sound of water in the pipes
 Do what we wanna do
 This is your life
 And you gave it all away
 That spelling grandma was a bitch
 It was calling out your name
 Flushing and uncapping
 Stepping down and outward
 It's been a fucking lovely day
 I'm familiar with the way things are 'round here
 It could slow me down
 Get familiar with this article
 Here we are
 Headlights from the morning star
 Just common proof
 Of how high the roof is
 Everything is marginal
 I used to be afraid of planes
 There once was a winner
 I thought I was a winner
 It's not like some mystery
 Something happens to our brains
 Sometimes these things just come to me
 Was the way it was explained
 The lasting last
 How high the roof is
 And it was explained
 Won't slow you down
 The lasting last of you
 And the printed word
 So familiar
