Totem Pole

(album: Oui - 2022)

She took her time in the morning
But no goodbye before she rolled
Hers was a house always open to me
Right by the totem pole

Nineteen-seven-three but the street's unknown
Is that some neighborhood, a zipcode or a phone?
She said she'd come meet me by the totem pole
But anyplace starts looking good when you find yourself alone

We missed our time without warning
Never realized it all gets old
Perhaps I should have lived more like some kind o'family man
It grounds you (or so I've been told?)
Now I miss your laugh and all our forning
Your fleesy hair, heart and soul
Somehow I knew I should o'nailed your sweet ass down
Up on that totem pole

Nineteen-seven-three but the street's unknown
Is that some neighborhood, a zipcode or a phone?
She said she'd come meet me by the totem pole
But anyplace starts looking good when you find yourself alone

You're shit out of luck
Your shit's on the line
You don't give a fuck
You don't even try
You're losing faith
You're losing time
You're losing face
You're losing your mind

Nineteen-seven-three but the streets unknown
It was just some memory, it was here but now it's gone
She said she'd come meet me by the totem pole
But any place starts looking good when you're finally on your own

She said she'd come meet me by the totem pole
She said she'd come meet me by the totem pole
She said she'd come meet me by the totem pole
