Smoke Like Ribbons

Smoke was pulled in ribbons
From the windows of the car
I followed the flash of silver from your teeth

Above the tarmac the lights were icy green
Buried in patterns in your chest
A quiet shimmering
Little dipper, tiara shine, song bird shivering, thin thin dime

Smoke like ribbons
Smoke like ribbons
Smoke like ribbons
Smoke like ribbons

Songs were pulled in ribbons
from the window of the car
lost along the shoulders of the highway

The cake walk dancers unwind from their spin
Singing
Lordy Lordy loved him
Stars don't give a flat fuck
Lordy Lordy loved him
Stars don't give a flat fuck
Lordy Lordy loved him
Stars don't give a flat fuck

Smoke like ribbons
Smoke like ribbons
Smoke like ribbons
Smoke like ribbons
