Perennials

You picked me up all hot and insecure like a demigod
Four whole days of hitching can leave a body raw
Feeling phenomenal in the winter wind of Saginaw
With a redpop Faygo and a handful of tramadol

If it's true in a few billion years, a few billion years
An expanding crimson sun will eat the earth
Then I'm sure we will still be here, we will still be here
Calmly haunting everyone we once were

After my relapse I woke up sore in Florida
There's gold down in the salt off that foreign shore
I could have sworn I saw you clean the clinic corridor
With monogrammed towels and a permit for the ocean floor

If it's true in a few billion years, a few billion years
An expanding crimson sun will eat the earth
Then I'm sure we will still be here, we will still be here
Calmly haunting everyone we once were

Carnage at the docks, an awful spate of maulings
Snipers on the roof, decline and fall on every screen
I'm bleeding from a head wound in the El Cerrito Walgreens
Your voice is on the intercom tweaking out all of us fiends

If it's true in a few billion years, a few billion years
An expanding crimson sun will eat the earth
Then I'm sure we will still be here, we will still be here
Calmly haunting everyone we once were
