lyrics

Detroit Velvet Smooth
(for Bob Hicok)
==
I’d been uttering words I hadn’t used in years and got to thinking about the center of the universe. But there was a guy across the street with a million mile stare and what could only be his wife. Anyway, how could I think about myself with a preacher consoling them over there? Where I’m at the state song’s just a whistling wind and the state flower’s a chained up factory gate. If only you could only see it. We keep asking ourselves “What did We do?” Our providence keeps us wishing for something to keep.
