Chain Wallets from Muffled Tears by Greg Eklund

CHAIN WALLETS

AND WHEN THE BEAT IS DROPPED
TIGER CHASING TAILS WITH CHAIN WALLETS
SWINGING IN THE NIGHT AIR

I WHISPERED “STOP STOP”
PULLED YOU OFF YOUR KNEES
BUZZING WITH THE HOTEL ICE MACHINE

WE WERE FALLING
CHARGING A NIGHTMARE
TO A PLASTIC WONDER
SIGNING ON THE NAMES OF THOSE
BEFORE AND WHO’D BE COMING AFTER

AND WHEN THE CLIENT’S DROPPED
BOX TO DOOR DROPPING MORE
SIGN HERE AND HERE
AND SERVE ME SMILING

I’LL GET MINE AND PAY FOR YOURS
YOU WALK AWAY TRASHING NAMES OF THOSE
YOU’LL SOON BE STANDING UNDER

WE WERE FALLING
CHARGING A NIGHTMARE TO A PLASTIC WONDER
CALLING OUT THE NAMES OF THOSE BEFORE
AND WHO’D BE COMING AFTER

CHAIN WALLETS WILL HOLD ONTO EVERYTHING
BUT CAN CHOKE YOU WITH NOSTALGIA’S MELODY
CHAIN WALLETS
CHAIN WALLETS
CHAIN WALLETS
WILL HOLD ON TO YOU AND ME
