Reticent Alien

from Reticent Alien by Justin Wiles

lyrics

Me and my father on a space amusement ride
“Cold glass of water” the last utterance before he died
Last seen on Gambit’s Green by the ferris wheel
But they found him below the wooden roller coaster
Now I can’t hardly go there no more
No more

“Eye for an eye” is my line, halfway misunderstood
Said you’d call and even bet me money that you would
You can’t afford this thing, it’s embarrassing for you
So take your debts aboard the slumbering solar coaster
Now I can’t hardly go there no more
No more

I am no rider of waves, I incise and split cement
But in last night’s trance I saw a chance
For this reticent alien to feel at home again
And if you endure the queue, austere in all desire
You can cavil at me, but do it lovingly or we’ll never be right
And I’d like us to be good again
