Nothing but trouble.
Or sunk just off the coast
Of my life
Of this island
That I live on
Content with two cats, a few visitors
and a hardy survivor from the
other side of this island.
She no longer visits
To take me to bars, dancehalls,
shopping
for jeans that show off my ass, for men.
A message in a bottle.
A swipe at my neighbor.
But to me she's gone.
I guess I shouldn't care.
That blonde pirate, cutting a swathe
With her criticisms.
Tired of the warning flags, the skull and bones.
I can choose my own friends.
But sometimes, they don't choose me.

Looking to the Horizon
That ship has sailedOr sunk just off the coast
Of my life
Of this island
That I live on
Content with two cats, a few visitors
and a hardy survivor from the
other side of this island.
She no longer visits
To take me to bars, dancehalls,
shopping
for jeans that show off my ass, for men.
A message in a bottle.
A swipe at my neighbor.
But to me she's gone.
I guess I shouldn't care.
That blonde pirate, cutting a swathe
With her criticisms.
Tired of the warning flags, the skull and bones.
I can choose my own friends.
But sometimes, they don't choose me.
