That's Life On Earth

from Tigerbomb * Tea and Ices (2019) by Doc Pickles

lyrics

That’s life on Earth under the stars, when we looked up we dropped our jaws.

We left the house to meet a friend at 4am and waited in the park for the universe but got sunrise instead playing on the swings and laying in the grass but we left before the morning dew set on our clothes. That’s life on Earth under the stars, when we looked up we dropped our jaws.

We left the parties early to go find us some ice cream then we returned once the guests had left we watched our friends get kicked out and we offered them our hands. That’s life on Earth under the stars, when we looked up we dropped our jaws.

They lean on their car horns, they lean into their elbows, spill drinks on their neckties, and somehow they blame it on us.

We remember the shrill advice and pretend to be deaf, lips were moving soundlessly as we rounded out the fuzzy edges of what we thought we knew, then we dropped our jaws, let out a gasp, watched blurry hands summon angels from the drums and the wires of the mustang amps.

We’ve mouthed the words to the Tubby in a cool creole speaking pigeon in our minds. We’ve left work early to make homemade snack food and watch Melrose reruns with volume turned down and the Bacharach’s played where the line read words should have been and that’s what life was underneath all the stars and that. That’s life on Earth under the stars, when we looked up we dropped our jaws.
