lucksmiths - fiction كلمات الأغنية

written down here, gentle reader
it seems too good to be true
but there’s a girl in kansas city
with my favourite tattoo
oh why would i lie to you?

this was in another century
somewhere near the summer’s end
the fahrenheit was frightening
i was awake the whole weekend
invited to a barbecue
i found refuge in the kitchen
discussing post-war us literature
with a girl whose upper arm read “fiction”
like it might have been typewritten

i asked her its significance
she said she sometimes took reminding
what she wanted to be doing
whether reading it or writing
i admitted admiration
for both typeface and intent
and said more softly — sotto voce —
i knew too well what she meant
she just smiled
and in a while she went

for a time i forgot this ever took place
she left her bottle on the bookcase

so though i leave you little option
but to take me at my word
i -ssure you, dearest listener
that it happened as you’ve heard
a beer left on a bookshelf
at a bygone barbecue
by a girl from kansas city
with my favourite tattoo
oh why would i lie to you?
oh why would i lie to you?
oh why would i lie?

- lucksmiths
