David - Young Jesus

David used to be creative

Seeing screens in all our faces

Talking like a kid Scorcese

Making films of kids and pavement

Summer’d always come around

We’d talk about our dreams

We’d talk about the way that running

Gives a respite from depression

But I’m not sayin' I’m the man

To write you a letter

Anonymous

Tonight

Turnin' tables to shield you from our guns

Some things flutter out of focus

David’s changing frame by frame

Hoping Eloise will notice

But the film’s dissolving into grain

David used to be creative

Now he’s trading pills and papers

Hanging out at burn out stables

Coming down half Cain, half Abel

Eloise, she broke his heart

She moved to Tennessee

She moved to somewhere where the climate

Won’t give way to more regression

Now I’m lying in the backyard

With my feet in the air

And I’m thinking about David

But I just can’t seem to care

Now David he’s been dying

He’s been drinking alone

Well I’m not quite the friend

You thought I was all along
