The Long Winters


I know I wasn't made to play on a team 
you weighed your suitcase down but it still wouldn't sink 
I know that crime doesn't pay 
but I don't know any other way 

the way that she smiles me down 
she claims to be clowning 
I finally long for someone 
teaspoon 

two can just bleed into one 
but only one does the bleeding 
she calls me the alphabet gun 
teaspoon 

I know I wasn't made to play on a team 
you weighed your suitcase down but it still wouldn't sink 
I know that crime doesn't pay 
but I don't know any other way 

She orders the pilot to land 
she just wants to hold the man 
well I am her pilot today
