Lyrics
I tend bar at the Bitter End On Waterlemon Key. Shark tooth hung around my neck And flip-flops on my feet. Tourists come to see me As they tour our only street. At first I worked construction, Then I drove a boat. Now I serve up frozen drinks With Bacardi floats. And play songs on the jukebox And write my cryptic notes. She came into the bar one night With a straw hat and a book. Being on an island She was worth another look. I closed my eyes and looked again And that was all it took. I said “What can I get you?” She said “What have you got? The difference in what a thing is And what that thing is not.” I reached down the Jose Cuervo And poured us both a shot. She licked, swallowed, slammed and bit. “I’m Angie, what’s your name?” “I’m Mick” I said and turned away To pour two more of the same. “Well Mick” she said, tossing her lime “You need two to play your game.” “You really should read Hegel”. I said “Who has the time?” “Thesis and antithesis, Synthesis is fine. Objectives and correlatives Are signified and signed.” “I used to think a lot Then I found this place”. “Oh I could see that Just looking at your face”. I started up the jukebox And she rambled into space. “Major sevenths assert themselves In pastel colored hues. Minor sevenths may induce The subjunctive mood. Language constructs just exist To be misunderstood. A simile from Emily: The door is like a jar. A metaphoric irony That’s neither near nor far. The ablative of means Comes to us from a distant star.” “Try some of this” I said. “It will make you feel alive”. “Oh no that’s not for me My drug’s SPF 45”. So I inhale and I exhale “But then who is going to drive?” “My captain’s down at Foxy’s The boat’s anchored in the bay. A dinghy’s drawn up on the beach But I think I’m going to stay.” So I inhale and I exhale Nothing much else to say. Her breasts were a little saggy Her hips a little wide But I got up in the saddle And we had a nice long ride. As soon as it was over She got up and went outside. “It’s so clear here” she said. “The stars, the reef, the sand”. The palm trees swayed, the trade winds blew, The waves lapped at the land. She said “You could lose your mind here” And let go of my hand. Now alone in my shack at night I think of Angie and Emily. Sometimes it’s all three of us Sometimes it’s only me. So I walk down to the Bitter End Of Waterlemon Key.
