Wichitalk Songtext
von pigeon pit

freeway signs that i hid behind
I had no idea what i was missing
Wichitalk your heart out and you know that i will listen
every year that passes feels like just a couple days
you were passed out on the tracks when i had thought i heard the train
and so i carried you through the thick and thin
we were thick as thieves, we were close as kin .
coffee and nicotine pumps through our veins .
as you start to cry i try to explain
we were in the trench our clothes were drenched
i could feel the bad news coming to the west coast
i′ve got forty ounces asking me:
" what do you miss the most? "
i feel so fucking selfish asking you these things
if we could make it out to oakland maybe drown these rotten dreams
but i've got no excuse
nothing to blame
for the horrid thoughts
in this wretched brain
nothing makes no sense so i speak my mind:


"haven′t moved on yet but god i'm trying .
and i was just wondering if your sister was alive,
what do you think she'd look like in high school? "
when you said
" come on in, the waters fine."
i whispered:
" i don′t want to hurt you."
and right now i can′t help but ask you
" do the dead grow older too?
as much as i loved being ten years old
i like to think they do.
and nothing makes me crushed like that
greyhound bus reading bright yellow Wichita
i want to go back down
to the pitcher's mound
where the midnight oil burned
you told me to grow up while i was
throwing up in the del mar bathroom stall
it′s hard to make amends when your
best friends stop returning all your calls
and when you placed your hands
on either side of my meager frame
where the fleas reside
with the panicked look on my pallid face
i climbed through the thorns and thistles
couldn't see shit, so ungrateful thinking to myself:
this isn′t happening
And i was just wondering if your sister was alive,
what do you think she'd look like in high school? "
when you said:
"come on in, the waters fine ."
i whispered:
" i don′t want to hurt you . "
and right now i can't help but ask you:
" do the dead grow older too?
as much as i loved being ten years old, i like to think they do"
