St. Jupiter

(album: The Weakness - 2023)

The flowers from St. Jupiter
Are growing in the yard
And I made sure that I planted them
At least 3 feet apart
To discourage all the morning pissers
Trying to leave their mark
It's been a long fucking summer
It's been a long year
I feel fat and old and dumber
And I'm watching time disappear

The flowers from St. Jupiter
Look better in these pots
I remember when we bought em
I complained 'cause it was hot
If I could travel back in time
I'd just shut my mouth and let you shop
It's been a long fucking winter
It's been a strange year
There ain't a day that I don't miss her
But that's just how it is around here

The flowers from St. Jupiter
Are 50 cents a pack
The ones that grew on Jocelyn road
Have shriveled and turned black
But if it's meant to be
The things that leave some day come back
But that's a long time waiting
That's a hard life
I'll just keep the fire in me raging
And I'll be doing alright
I'll just keep the fire in me raging
And I'll be doing alright
