Destroyer At Mercy

Saturday night or whatever – it’s not like
The day of week is important here
What mattered was how we were out and about
Together for the first time in years
Ready in style, ready to go wild
Or its late-thirties equivalent
Summoning the same energy that once came
From youth, uppers and Percocet
We saw Destroyer at Mercy
Me in an ill-fitting suit
You in that black dress that inversely
Always fit so well on you
Carefree not much but acting as such
For as long as we could make it last
Unknowns in a much-changed town
A pair of relics from the past
We saw Destroyer play ably
Me in a second-hand suit
You had barely been out since the baby
That black dress looked so good on you
Saturday night and pretending it’s like
The way we were a decade ago
Unknowns in a much-changed town
Returning soon to the shadows

Perks

You were on top of me
I was somewhere else altogether
You were doing all the right things
I was nowhere to be found
It's the end of the affair
It went on too long anyway
The aftermath is there
Strewn all over your place
You know it could be worse
You could have left me first
I'll miss the perks
But that's about it
Yeah, I'll miss the perks
But that's about it
A bruise on my shoulder
And a bite mark on my arm
The damage is tolerable
And the night is still young
