we will talk about this when we get home
we will talk about this til it burns our throat
my back will stick to the couch at night
holding my body til the paper arrives
watery coffee burns my tongue
my stomachs aching laundy's hung
and I will spin my eggs around my plate
a silent endless knockout race
You are an atom
I am an atom
You are an atom
I am an atom
was it just as sweet after the first bite
or was every try to recapture that night
when you'd wash your hands to clean your nails
or turn the water hotter to get rid of his smell
and the cockroaches skitter up from the couch
and lay their eggs, their eggs in my mouth
I'll choke on the cigarettes shower in gin
it keeps the bugs away from my skin
You are an atom
I am an atom
You are an atom
I am an atom
it was martha's vineyard
we slept on the floor
the celebration rattled
outside the door
and even though we were sweating
I held you tight
we will talk about this when we get home
we will talk about this til it burns our throat
my back will stick to the couch at night
holding my body til the paper arrives
watery coffee burns my tongue
my stomachs aching laundy's hung
and I will spin my eggs around my plate
a silent endless knockout race
You are an atom
I am an atom
You are an atom
I am an atom
was it just as sweet after the first bite
or was every try to recapture that night
when you'd wash your hands to clean your nails
or turn the water hotter to get rid of his smell
and the cockroaches skitter up from the couch
and lay their eggs, their eggs in my mouth
I'll choke on the cigarettes shower in gin
it keeps the bugs away from my skin
You are an atom
I am an atom
You are an atom
I am an atom
it was martha's vineyard
we slept on the floor
the celebration rattled
outside the door
and even though we were sweating
I held you tight
