Drink in the milk of the night
Swallow the light of the moon
Changing everybody
Take a light away from their lips
Feeling left out
Along a road of people like us
Singing that song we know
On the Saturday before last
We sat on a porch
Not our own
Swinging our legs
Intertwined
Nails clawed
Feeling so content
Thumbs in holes
Teeth rubbing off taste buds
