Lax - Brazzaville

LAX in a runway motel

We just got off the phone

You didn’t seem very well

At 5 years old I had no place to go

But you took me in

And you gave me a home

The planes fly

Overhead

While I smoke

Too many cigarettes in bed

It rained last night ‘bout a quarter to 2

I was lyin' awake

Just thinkin' ‘bout you

A summer wind blowin' in off the sea

Full of childhood smells

And aquamarine

The planes fly…
