lyrics

It's just a jacket;
Now it's got a stain to match your skirt.
Crimson, cords and velvet;
Let's be thankful no one here was hurt.

If I walk you home I'll tell a bad joke,
So if you roll your eyes this one's on you.

You were a moment, the heart of the country,
I staked a flag; removed the tags.
And wiping the red from the butt of my sleeve
I saw bloody hands: stolen land.

Friend of the bride
Waiting to have his dance,
Worried he missed his chance
To show off his steps.
We prettied up,
Tailored our hems and tails,
Purse flasks and bathroom rails,
Jacks in the dark.

I made you laugh so hard you let your drink choke!
Medics in the wings for nights like this.
