lyrics

it could be north, south, or west of the ring
machinery sits bored and rusted
throw mr. x off the scent when he rings
you learned real quick men aren't to be trusted

so you live alone
and keep yourself to yourself

until the moment of impact
the hollow-point will arc up and descend
and spend its last few seconds intact
flitting across the surface of the wind
'til it sees the man in the cashmere blend

at 17 you were out on your ear
they said, "don't come back til you've made us proud."
you haven't called in 20 years
wonder how they think about you now

a machine - a bird - the picture of stealth
neither seen nor heard nor felt

until the moment of impact
a squirrel in the orchard with its hickory nut
the wedding guests never know that,
while they're losing their shit to "uptown funk" (2014)
you'll be wrapping him in a tarp and shoving him in a trunk
to sleep with the river gunk and the unopened mail

they called you little miss sure shot
a hole in the PVC and a faint mist:
he is both hit and he is not.
dissipated like a will-o-the-wisp?
but what he isn't or is is none of your business
it's just business
