Phoenix (凤凰) - Slaughter Beach, Dog/Dog[00:00:00]

From the corner of 3 rd and Washington[00:00:17]

You can't see where your brother went[00:00:20]

Out somewhere past the beat cops[00:00:24]

And beautiful women who work for the government[00:00:27]

They walk by in air conditioned tunnels[00:00:30]

That are a cut above the street[00:00:33]

While I sweat in my hot coffee[00:00:36]

And daydream about how we might meet[00:00:40]

Your mother asked for a picture[00:00:58]

She says today's your birthday[00:01:01]

In some strung out western stutter[00:01:04]

Making all the world her ashtray[00:01:07]

She adjusts her aviators[00:01:11]

With an absent shaking hand[00:01:14]

Tilts the camera forward forty five degrees[00:01:17]

And calls out modeling commands[00:01:22]

When we used to go to parties[00:01:38]

You'd spend an hour before the mirror[00:01:41]

And I'd drink your gin[00:01:44]

And ask about your high school souvenirs[00:01:47]

Tacked on the wall above the bed[00:01:51]

An old ink jet collage[00:01:55]

But you were never much for talking[00:01:58]

So I knelt to your garage[00:02:03]

We'd walk the three blocks westbound[00:02:18]

In the moonlit Philly fall[00:02:21]

And the party would be grand[00:02:25]

All our friends would grin with pride[00:02:28]

All our friends would be so drunk[00:02:31]

And have such pleasant things to say[00:02:34]

And at last we'd see each other[00:02:38]

In the way that we had dreamed to be seen[00:02:41]

Those nights your house kept secret[00:03:23]

We'd stumble up the stairs[00:03:26]

My hands tore through your records[00:03:29]

While your hands unpinned your hair[00:03:33]

The both of us still green enough[00:03:36]

To remove the others clothes[00:03:40]

A quiet signal of devotion[00:03:43]

That I am happy to have known[00:03:46]
