The Afternoon’s Hat

Made me kiss you with a whisper

And violently you swung through an unfamiliar tongue

Couldn't listen to tradition

Grab me by the wrist to silently insist

And when I'm in the confines of crawling walls

You hold me in place

The ripples on the ceiling, the avenues

Unsugared taste

We'll waste away the evening

The afternoon, the afternoon's hat

Together we'll find something

To direct some laughter at

You stood shirtless and confident

Listening to the fools, tickling the rules

Their obsessions followed patterns

Sat upon their stools with their attitudes

And when I'm in the confines of crawling walls

You hold me in place

The ripples on the ceiling, the avenues

Unsugared taste

We'll waste away the evening

The afternoon, the afternoon's hat

Together we'll find something

To direct some laughter at

And when I'm in the confines of crawling walls

You hold me in place

The ripples on the ceiling, the avenues

Unsugared taste

Waste away the evening

The afternoon and the afternoon's hat

Together we'll find something

To direct some laughter at
