about

montreal fringe festival, 2003

i met a girl named jessica

on the last night on the fringe, with a breeze blowing the torn posters from the fence around the fringe the club, we talked until the morning light crept in. the smell of the porta potties was in the air, and the birds were starting to sing.

lyrics

pink skies
black flies
buzzing around your face
blue eyes
sunrise
creepin over your shoulder
tense thighs
deep sighs
the smell of shit is comin through the air

caramel curls
woman/girl
the boy/man has got his back to you
blue world
has unfurled
its sunny beams unto your shimmering lips
awakening squirrels
droppin its pearls
squeezin its light between our hands entwined
they re comin for you
your friends want to go
your mother will call and i m makin a fool of us both

so just say the word
and i ll disappear
from la vielle ville you ll never need fear
but you tug at your lip
and glance through the bar
my heart it speeds up and they re comin for you
they re comin for you
we should say goodbye
god damnit i m scared
i fell in your eye

(then she kissed me)
