Marmalade Shag

from Soledad by Geordie Austen

/

about

A jagged memory fragment wave.

lyrics

you used to tell me
stories at night
I used to listen with my
soul in light
you took me down
to the sapphire
another lonely
bar on the road

you sat me down
on the captain's
chair it swiveled like your
undying love
a film was playing
on the topshelf
the walls were covered in
marmalade shag

I wandered up and
down the mountain
and ran blindly across
the median wire
my legs were lost and
too the reason
why I was
seeing red

I sought for shelter and
I sought for seeking and
ended up in circles
running from the clowns
they took me down
to grand junction
and told me that I needed
god to survive

through the night and
through the forest
and through it all I sang an
ode to false pride and
in the morning
no wallet keys or phone
I hitched a ride in a van
lined in marmalade shag

now I dream about a man
a man who's laughing
light and free and easy and
takin' it as it comes
a man of vision and
one who sees past
the colour red and
the marmalade shag
