We breathe out and the words in the smoke fumes grow

Out our mouths, I'm leaving in a bad way, in a bad way

Acquaintances and [bad word] compliments all night

flash of skeleton grins, discordant noise, the talking dims..

We got cold. Spent the night driving home

We swallowed road under bonnet. It all speeds by

And as the road unfolds, unfurling homes in the headlights

The space between your ears fills up with verse and tears..
