Heart Cop

from Collection No. 2 by Dean Batten

/

lyrics

I wish I was a heart cop
So I could make this damn traffic stop
I'm sitting by the vacuum machine
Still wishing I could maybe feel clean

Street lamp looks like a second lover's moon
If we walk now we can be home real soon
But I'm sitting by the vacuum machine
Watching my fingers turn to misty pink steam

Washrag is off the hook
If I speak everyone else will look
And I don't want to take up their space
With my numbness all in their face

Aren't you mad how you are?
Aren't you always scared you'll take it too far?
I know that I am
But I only take what I think I can stand

Water comes in different hues
The sky comes in more than just blue
I'm sitting by the vacuum machine
At a gas station, two thirty in the morning

It's not what it seems when all the world is green
