We Shoplifted
all the books we couldn’t afford and cases of beer, expensive liquor We’d just walk out with them under our coats or sometimes out in the open like we’d already paid keeping an even pace You were the same as me, at least in the respect You could steal anything nailed down, chained or otherwise
We were drunk for three months straight I’d dropped out but you were still in school somehow It got to the point where we could take down a 750 each without much feeling and I was smaller then than I am now couldn’t have weighed more than a hundred and ten pounds You wore a long coat and I’d sing myself hoarse if I drank enough I remember one night at my aunt’s house in Azusa we woke up at 2 AM still reeling and you chased me onto the front lawn in a white sheet the grass was wet and you tore the sheet away from me spun me around naked and it was warm, high summer quiet in the streets with no cars no movement just us You told me I was beautiful and should never wear clothes You ran your hands over me and then you threw me to the ground but we were so drunk we just talked about Marilyn Monroe and Elvis until the sun came up Your eyes were blue or green I can never remember and eventually I lost everything we stole
