Arnold Avenue

Sleepless, the hollow pillow
 Burning dusk into dawn
 The existential plot of craving
 Soaking in the sun
 Here, I met Wendy
 Seemingly unsatisfied
 The daze of Detroit far past her
 Dredged within those eyes
 Wading the warmest waters
 Table tops and tides
 Lurking with such buoyancy
 In spite of all you find
 The color of coral drowned her
 Parting fingers, friends and foe
 A dusty humid smile
 Resilient in its tow
 Facade of concerted discerning
 I ponder why you stay
 On this highway number zero
 Wicked are its ways
 The seawall meets these sandals
 Like strangers greet your sighs
 Distorting every signal
 You keep this all in stride
 Lagoon of mirrors haunting
 Speaking showers of the sky
 Pools of lifeless longing
 Those things that swept you by
 ♪
 Wading the warmest waters
 Over table tops and tides
 Lurking with such poignancy
 Despite the failed design
 You're the crescent of these corners
 Peaking below and behind
 Situated, the center of bargain
 A bargain so unkind
 'Til the crashing down on coral
 We dusted a million times
 The end of Arnold Avenue
 Didn't you seek and never find
 And never find
 And never find
 And never find
 And never find (and never find)
 And never find (and never find)
 And never find
 And never find (and never find)
 And never find (and never find)
 And never find
 And never find
