Last weekend
you ran out of stories to tell.
No one can light up a birthday
or brighten up a bar night
like you.
This evening
you are shaving your legs,
picking your clothes.
Ready to take a plane,
and let your heart
blow up in your face.
How we all love to hear
a good story.
Everybody knows
the characters
you have to make them suffer.
How we all love to hear
a good story.
A picture of a cut on your chin,
a half grin.
You're on a ferryboat
A night ahead
on a big black sea.
Looking for a stranger to meet,
a code to crack.
A little dot on the map,
a bird you heaven't heard about yet.
How we all love to hear
a good story.
Everybody knows
the characters
you have to make them suffer.
How we all love to hear
a good story.
Oh you're a writer.
And someone will
laugh about this later.
Someone will
