Tap the little desk bell
Check-in after six
Suffer through the back-and-forth
Waiting for the fix
Custom leather luggage
Propped open on the bed
Set right
New dress
Zipped tight
Seeing cherry red
A new week in the wild
Some time to take some chances
A simple slice of life
Simple games of passing glances
You know all the classic steps
And any move they’ll make
You know how to bring them in
to give…to take…
This is the way it goes
Right after the sun sets
You’re down the lobby stairs
The last survivors of a wedding party
Waiting there
How about that?
How about some easy questions?
Soft suggestions?
Fizzy chat and party lies
The best man tries to catch your eye
And you let the joke hit
Let him think he’s in control
For a bit
The rest clear out
And you take him by the neck
Pay the check
Stumble toward your suite
A total wreck
The friction starts
And you’ve barely even won
Then a twitch, a shudder…
It’s over
Done
This is the way it goes
How about that?
He‘s gone quick as he came
Leaving you in that dead room
In nothing but your name
Stuck in the subjunctive
Every shot’s a miss
Even when things should connect
They always end like this
Close to choreography
Your practice really shows
One more day of falling down
Waiting for another round
Ready for the starting count
You suppose
