Silver Jews - San francisco b c

^COld San Francisco, San Francisco B.C. I lived with my true love and she lived with me. ^G"Romance is the douche of the bourgeoisie" Was the very first thing she imparted to me We had sarcastic hair, we used lewd pseudonyms We got a lot of stares on the street back th^Cen.

^CSince her dad, a local barber, had been beaten to death She had become a vocal martyr in the vegan press ^GThe cops had failed, they couldn't catch a buzz They were looking for a male with a bad hair cut Enter tumbleweed, exit love and our affaire d'amour Was set on self-destruc^Ct.

^CShe said "you don't make enough to provide for me." I said "what about the stuff that we quote believe?" ^GShe said "I left that on the sands of history I've found a new man to take care of me He dresses for success and emergency and he moves a lot of concrete on the QV^CC."

^CLittle, asian, deadly, like a cobra in the shade Sat in the midst of the smoke that he made ^GHis name was Mr. Games and he owned the place It was a lonely bar and grill in the Lower Haight He had a jeweler's hands and a blurry face He knew I needed a chance so he gave me a br^Ceak.

^C"If I hire you now, can you start today? I got a high-rise job down by the bay. ^GJust a couple of rocks and some firearms There's not many locks and just one alarm My step-son Gene will pick you up and drive Try to be his friend, he's got a friendly s^Cide."

^CDoll-house lightning and the next thing I knew We were back at our point of rendezvous. ^GI was in the possession of burglary tools Children's fur coats and diamonds and jewels Gene's talking about insignificant shit Just like crooks in the movies when they do that b^Cit.

^CHe said the power of metal will never be harnessed. I thought the wages of metal should be heavily garnished. ^GWe were waiting for his dad to meet us there Gene took off his hat and I noticed his hair It was neatly trimmed but a patch was bare I knew it wasn't the wave, it was human err^Cor.

^CBefore I knew what I said, I said "killer cut." I watched him silently putting out a cigarette butt. ^GThen he came at me with some fist cuisine I had to duck aside and that was bad for Gene Cause when he went by me he tripped and fell Through the glass coffee table at the Wong hot^Cel.

^CRight there and then Mr. Games walked in With my ex-true love on his gamy limb. ^GSo her dad's killer's dad was her new beau And Games had a wife, whatta you know? She got real real quiet till we chucked the kid Then she went her way and I went h^Cis.
