เพลง Picture Of Health

Picture of Health - Parquet Courts

My last guilt-themed solicitation

Delivered slowly in hesitation,

It could not soothe me,

could not seduce me

Into repainting these

strokes so loosely.

How I remember my ex-blue t-shirt.

Where the hole in it fell...

Plain-dressed, wilting and wired,

You were the picture of health.

Wine glass drowning,

postponed narration

Make every new drag

no mere frustration.

I fell in debt to those

country crooners

Mourning lost love

like Spanish funerals.

Dye the grey hair you grew in secret

To a root-colored shell.

Frozen mid-sentenced smile,

You were the picture of health.

No prognosis implied

You were the picture of health.

Plain-dressed, wilting and wired,

You were the picture of health.
