I taste lead rusting through the water fountain
I walk over, my feet heavy with the afternoon
And lie down on the warm grass
A bed of nails against my skin wet by an angry sun
Someone’s carved the grass besides the grammar school into a chessboard
I am the rook
Maybe it’s a graph, yes
I’m lying in the graph of white males lying on grassy fields
Where I am… just ordinary
Afternoon
I feel the sun weigh down into the afternoon
Afternoon
I feel the sun weigh down and it is closing soon
We’re moving gently
So gently to the moon
With thе stars that make us think so far
And all your troubles they fall insignificant
With еach days passing into the moon
So goodbye, afternoon, goodbye
So I struggle up, foot it back to the boulevard
With cars crawl along the blacktop in stalls
See some live their lives at 55, by 24
Well I run this life at 33 rpm
All day and night tied to opposite sides of vinyl spinning
In the afternoon
I feel the sun weigh down into the afternoon
In the afternoon
I feel the sun weigh down and it is closing soon
We’re moving gently
So gently to the moon
With the stars that make us feel so small
And all your troubles they fall insignificant
With each days passing into the moon
So goodbye, my afternoon, goodbye
