Subterfuge! from Thinking Ahead by Blair Burner

I felt it before I landed
I knew I wouldn't fit in here
they say every-
body's got a talent
Mines always been being
weird in weird
She says she's tired of songs of heartbreak
She's exhausted by her fucked up peers
and we may never start an earthquake
but we may find happiness in years

And we're just now
getting started
we're good looking
Chicago queers
and we sometimes feel discarded but we'll go out for a smoke
and reappear

So keep the liquor coming baby
we keep it 100 lady
we could be something maybe
save me your soul

Lately I been groovin' shaky
but records got me feelin' tasty
I know I can be your safety
Save me your soul


I was afraid to return empty handed
I'm confused and don't know which way to steer
Guess a pocket of poems is something to stand for
but it doesn't pull me any
further from tears
They say you'll never find it searching
It avoids your perked up ears
and when you believe you're here for something
the future is
never not staring at y'a
from the rear

And we're just now
getting started
we're good looking
Chicago queers
and we sometimes feel discarded but we'll go out for a smoke
and reappear

So keep the liquor coming baby
we keep it 100 lady
we could be something maybe
save me your soul

Lately I been groovin' shaky
but records got me feelin' tasty
I know I can be your safety
Save me your soul
