John Lenio - Evergreen

These endless crowds of people
Only make me feel alone
I'm trapped in my computer
And I'm choking on my phone
All these dots and dashes sing
Ask the people in your pocket, they know everything
They can help you find a house, but not your home
There's still some things we gotta do on our own

You're the smell of gasoline
Back when I was only seventeen
I've got a birth and a death
And you're everything left in between
'Cause baby, you know you're my evergreen

So I tried to find new words to fit
With all of these old tunes
But all these moving pictures
Are fresh salt for my old wounds
And the pretty face on the magazine
Said read page fifty-five and find out everything
And then you'll be the center of the room
I won't be going there anytime soon

You're the smell of gasoline
Back when I was only seventeen
I've got a birth and a death
And you're everything left in between
'Cause baby, you know you're my evergreen

This rope a hundred miles long
I'm dragging from a noose
I left all of my friends at the other end
With their stick-and-poke tattoos
That girl that I hated, except when we drank
The kids getting brain-burned on hillbilly crank
I still feel it all like I'm pressing on a bruise
I told myself that I could stop if I choose

You're the smell of gasoline
Back when I was only seventeen
I've got a birth and a death
And you're everything left in between
'Cause baby, you know you're my evergreen
Yeah baby, you know you're my evergreen
