Lyrics
The sweetgrass rose you bought on Anson Street
Is wilting from the heat on the dashboard.
The air gets thick, a half-a-beat
Behind the words I can't afford.
[Chorus]
Got that mono voicing, a half-smile on a wire
Singin' "bless your heart now", when my tongue is catchin' fire.
Just a single channel, comin' through the static hum
Yeah, I heard you clearly. I just play it deaf and dumb.
[Verse 2]
Your rental map is bleeding in the damp July.
"You people are so lucky," you said it with a sigh.

Got that mono voicing, a half-smile on a wire
Singin' "bless your heart now", when my tongue is catchin' fire.
Just a single channel, comin' through the static hum
Yeah, I heard you clearly. I just play it deaf and dumb.
[Bridge]
(Rhythmic Breakdown: Percussion and layered vocal whispers only)
Left ear quiet
Right ear ringing
Whole damn city
is slowly sinking
[Outro]
Hey. Your hair is... bright today.
