Kid Quiet by Lovers

zombiesemics inspired by the song Kid Quiet from Lovers

tears of white and grey fall upon your handle-bars andmix in with the rain. oh what a day. you'd never seen a brighter star,you'd never be the same. cause when we touch, the shadow of a bicy-cle is no more beautiful than us. so at dusk, meet me on old summerroad in the autumn cold to talk. kid genius, you built me a radio, saidwhen i feel alone, turn it on, and i'll find you there somewhere with atinfoil smile or like a star. with no one ever there you'd laugh eachtime they didn't care but now your sides ache and i came too late.with glitter in your eyes you'd laugh each time you would've cried butnow your sides ache. you laughed until the tears came. and nowyou've gone away, and in a little room i dream of you and the picturein my brain doesn't fade like the circles of a radio signal float out intospace. and before you lfet you came and hung a string of lightsaround my bike as i slept. a sweet planet where fireflies zoom like ahundred moons around your room in orbit is my wish, and a ten-foot-tall mirror-ball hung from city hall. and good magic. my constellationkid, i plotted the routes you'd traveled through and the line i drew con-nnecting it made a clear image of a lightening bold through your child-hood home, like the stories told on your wrist. tears of white and grey.i'll never see a brighter star.
