Downstream

Downstream - Paper Bird

Written by：Anna Kohlweis

You hugged me with hands curled up in fists

And weapon in your front pocket squeezing my tits

And we kissed with teeth touching that's how it was

And every breath exchanged another loss

I bought a book on life in the sea

And I read it out aloud and picked out

The importance for me

Which was everything poisonous everything dangerous

Everything with teeth and claws and claws

Do you think you are

Thinking about telling me what to think

Do you think you are

Pouring your opinions in my drink

I ride the bike down to the river side

Spit in the water watch you

Float slowly downstream

After the A B C and the 1 2 3

Your words still sound so old

While my finger's in my throat

Trying to tickle out the cold

There's a mark on my hips

Where ten four filthy fingertips

To pave the way for a filthy pair of lips

I bought a book about life in the woods

And I read it out aloud

And I underlined the passages that would

Tell me how to survive among predators as a snake

And how to never go to sleep how to always

Stay awake

Do you think you are thinking about telling me what to think

Do you think you are pouring your opinions

In my drink

I ride the bike down to the river side I

Spit in the water and watch you float slowly downstream

Down down down down down down down down down down

Down down down down down down down down down down

Down down down down down down down down down down

Down down down down down down down down down down

Down down down down down down down down stream
