Canadian Classic

Backyard baby take me back
Put your cigarettes out on my hands and
Kiss me with your elbows up
Make me flowers from empties and car exhaust

And melted plastic cups
Will fold into the lawn
I will solder my mouth shut
With the heat from the sidewalk

Kick your fires higher and put
Holes in all your shirts
And when two thread's all you got left
Swear you’re not naked
There must be another word

And I won't walk home like this
So put your leeches on my lips
And when the bad blood's sucked out
Of the bruises
Salt them watch them fall off
Do you know how to keep a secret?
