The Mansion

At dawn i walked across my front lawn
 Humming some blodying, nordic rowing song
 It was raked and cut and comforting,
 To comfort i said so long
 I stole my girl from her backyard
 We jumped on a train
 (anacostia, va)
 To greyhound across the united states
 We set off in hope of changing our lives
 But settled intead in a holiday inn, riverside
 I woke up in the morning all alone
 I walked down to the lobby and found her on the phone
 "david" she said, "i miss you i'm coming home"
 I pulled her by the arm, she grabbed me by the throat
 I went to the room and threw all her things
 Of the 17th floor balcony and set out
 We set off in hope of changing our lives
 But settled intead in a holiday inn, riverside
