i couldnt figure it out

by joel abel - Taurus

that old song was
playing thru her toy radio.

and somebody said something about
the yellow light on the porch.

i was half drunk, half stoned,
just about bombed all the way.

i sat next to her on the couch
and said:
this seems like a great old house.
must be full of ghosts.

and she said:
the air smells beautiful tonight.

i coulnt really figure out what
that meant.

and i couldnt believe my luck
when she gave me that look,
then a quick kiss,  
before she went out back
to talk to her sister.
