Little Red Pebbles

34 miles west of the tide pools
I threw rocks into as a kid
The pain of nostalgia 

Penciling identity 
Teenager in love at the cemetery
Cover me like a sweater 

For the full blue moon
The American mood 
Your number in my hand
My blue car on president 

Daughter of Jane
Lover of Leo
Queen of all saints
Navy nail polish
Rapper name
Lil’ Bat Mitzvah
Natural hair 
Supernatural

I'm failing to leave
New York City behind
And it’s hailing little
Red pebbles
On my roof tonight

Leaving El Paso for Seattle 
Desert mountains burning red
Television Hitchcock marathon 

I'm hearing songs that don’t even exist 
I want to sing them again
In an old friend’s garage 

 For the full blue moon
The American mood 
Your number in my hand
My blue car on president 

Daughter of Jane
Lover of Leo
Queen of all saints
Navy nail polish
Rapper name
Lil’ Bat Mitzvah
Natural hair 
Supernatural

I'm failing to leave
New York City behind
And it’s hailing little
Red pebbles
On my roof tonight

For the full blue moon
The American mood
Blue polish on your hand
Like new paint across a canvas 
In the corner of my head
There’s a beautiful  combination
Of two old beloved friends 
Laughing and hailing little red

It’s hailing
