Jersey Water - Homeless Summer '96 Lyrics

I kept a journal for the first part of the summer
I wasn't hanging around no more
And that was the year that our semen turned watery and clear

And I renewed my subscription to the wayward magazine
And I kissed the wood of my sister's armoire
Then I nailed that journal to a tree

Oh, how I, untogether

In your field
And how we were born a different kind of lamb

I started school with a sore on my lip
And the white of my eyes burned red
And I felt your struggle and the way it passed by my feet
And I wished I'd confessed you were the drum of my life
Fast to water
Fast to light

Oh, how I, untogether
I wanted to lie in your field
In your field
And when we undressed
We undressed for good and I
