mary halvorson's code girl - mexican war streets (pittsburgh) lyrics
the nostalgia: instant
across this cracking tiled hill
from every angle i’m sprouting weeds
cobblestones climb the slope
cut by narrow alleys slicing open a hundred years
proudly abandoned houses sit tucked and peeling painted
bent by their own breeze
new ones drip glossy windows
and plastic realty signs
at the top, amid tumbled back+country sprawl
ropy trees wreath the city view
and there, the rusted remains of a net+less hoop
echoes of shots, made and missed
clocking safe the darkness
the occasional person greets me like i’m not
a blank intruder of concealed spots
pretending i don’t fall in love
a blank intruder of concealed spots
pretending i don’t fall in love
a blank intruder of concealed spots
pretending i don’t fall in love
a blank intruder of concealed spots
pretending i don’t fall in love
