After the Meteor Showers
ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO
She was pretty as a starlet
Take a photo please
Her skin was soft white luminescence
Like a candle in the wild wind
You can blame the stars
You can blame the wind
You can blame the meteor showers
Or the original sin
Her mind was deep and sharp like poison
And like poison I drank it up
Her lips were red hot like fire
Like fire in a pewter cup
You can blame the stars
You can blame the wind
You can blame the meteor showers
Or the original sin
She was pretty as a starlet
Take a photo please
Her skin was hot white luminescence
Like a candle in the vicious wind
You can blame the stars
You can blame the wind
You can blame the meteor showers
Or the original sin
