letra de stampete - gavin castleton

like a hormone hurricane we became a force,
with the carnal carnage of our braided legs
and our twisting hips,
coursing through its course

we staggered in at the staggered times but the scent was the clear
and your face was flush
you let your fingers linger on my back
whenever i p-ssed near
stealing looks through the lunch rush
i tried to kiss you in the stock room
but you brushed me off – so professional
so professional
you made me pounce when i got you alone
back at my mother’s house
you got repaid in full
yes i got paid in full!

a year goes by, it’s the summertime
and we’re private beaching in the evening
with the furry black kid
and we’ve got some sneaky fingers
and some twiney toes
and they are reaching out to form a giant squid
onour knees in the surf, wrapped in sand,
with the waves crashing,
and we’re laughing and laughing and laughing…
on the boardwalk home i joke about it ending in marriage
but you were like, “no, that could never happen, baby…”

and as time goes by
you start to entangle yourselves
it feels safe to settle for the cards you were dealt
the living braid of two hearts in the shade of youth
why would you ever untether this parachute?

then at the summer’s end i left home for school,
transatlantic miles between me and you
i crossed that ocean twice to claim what’s mine
but all i saw of scotland was your bedroom view

i remember tugging you ’round the swimming pol
down in florida when you came on tour
yeah, but wasn’t it the night before
that you made sleep
so apart from you on the hardwood floor?

years later, when you lived with me,
it was hard, at first, to share a nest
and made our sp-ces talk,
but what we couldn’t fix in our shared coc–n
could be macheted on a jungle walk

and as time goes by
you start to entangle yourselves
it feels safe to settle for the cards you were dealt
the living braid of two hearts in the shade of youth…
let’s kick it

put your feet on my feet
keep your eyes on my eyes
cue the band
chopping hands
arms at ninety degrees
march in place, soldier bear
it’s a curious dance
in your serious pants
with your unbending knees
