Beeswax

from apple in the ocean by mary bue

lyrics

my heart is twisted
feels like it’s pounding right out of my chest
fried up and crispy
and she’s got it wrapped up in beeswax
my heart is twisted
feels like some worn-out dishrag
wringing out with blood and love
if you’re the king of second chances
then i’m the queen of hearts
if you’re the kind of second chances
then i may as well be the queen of darts
with a gun to my head
think i’ll take a walk
along the mississippi
and away from the quarry
towards your second story

away from the quarry
along the mississippi
trading our rackets/racquets
for sweet salt water taffy
driving hard up along that river
it makes sense to be a loner
but i’d rather be your lover
