Young Jesus - David

Текст песни

David used to be creative
Seeing screens in all our faces
Talking like a kid Scorcese
Making films of kids and pavement
Summer’d always come around
We’d talk about our dreams
We’d talk about the way that running
Gives a respite from depression
But I’m not sayin' I’m the man
To write you a letter
Anonymous
Tonight
Turnin' tables to shield you from our guns
Some things flutter out of focus
David’s changing frame by frame
Hoping Eloise will notice
But the film’s dissolving into grain
David used to be creative
Now he’s trading pills and papers
Hanging out at burn out stables
Coming down half Cain, half Abel
Eloise, she broke his heart
She moved to Tennessee
She moved to somewhere where the climate
Won’t give way to more regression
Now I’m lying in the backyard
With my feet in the air
And I’m thinking about David
But I just can’t seem to care
Now David he’s been dying
He’s been drinking alone
Well I’m not quite the friend
You thought I was all along
