She sent a picture of a plethora of poker chips Spread out on the bed between a mouth and a leg She said "there's pretty many people already but still I wish you were here" Hadn't really seen her since the previous winter She'd been a drop dead number since later last December But here she is rising again Happy Easter You wanna go get some beers? And all the bartеnders were strangling thеir shakers It was springtime in the sweet part of the city It's nice to hit the taverns with familiar companions I kind of like it when she's laughing at me So now we're back in touch and we're up to our old tricks And she's acting on a tip, we're trying to find the right play She said, "meet me on the corner by Central Smoke and Gift I'll be just before daybreak" But she wants to make it clear That she's done with all that other stuff Sick of all the drama club Tired of all the talking drugs She slept over on a Saturday night And in the morning we watched the parade Letras de cancionesAll the majorettes had the sun in their eyes And all the old cars looked fatigued The cops in the kilts they had me nervous as hell But if felt pretty cool when she kissed me We're at the table and she's yelling out her order Vanilla vodka in a diet Dr. Pepper Something wrapped in a black wax paper We're gonna see where this goes She's pouring liquor into spun sugar Something extra in a salt shaker She only does this as an ice breaker So go ahead with the show She makes it really clear that she's a way different person Than the person that I knew in the past But once she starts rolling it's wild like the ocean And the ocean is violent and vast We're in the weeds and we're taking on water We've been taking on whatever they offer Trading stickers with some shipwrecked sailors We're going to see where this goes We're in the woods with the difficult decision The majorettes not paying much attention And if the band ever plays the Resurrection It's at the end of the show Something extra in a salt shaker Turning liquor into spun sugar She said that we should try to do this every Easter I said, "we'll see how it goes, we still gotta see the end of the show" From Letras Mania
