Name Escape

Name escape
Right now, name escape
Name escape
Right now, name escape

"Did you remember the Fender?"
Said a familiar beard
Whose band I always see
Whose sound I never hear
I cannot seem to place his face
His nose or his shape
Right now, name escape

Right now, name escape
Right now, name escape

And I've seen him at Palisades closing out tabs
I've seen him outside of metros flagging down cabs
Hand on the fender, message from sender
I've seen his face but now no name remember
And online he's typing with a pseudonym
So even messaging I'm not quite sure if it's him
And he never once makes eye contact
When he talks he never once makes eye contact
And I have no idea what he does for a living
And I can't distinguish his head from the next
His pants are much tighter than the last time we met
He's got a pizza-core badge which he bought on the internet

Well have I heard the latest something about so and so?
No I have not, my son
Now I don't want to know
Have you heard the latest single by the so and the so's?
No I have not, my son
Now I don't want to know

Right now, name escape (You know this guy?)
Right now, name escape (Yeah!)
Right now, name escape (You know this guy Trix?)
Right now, name escape

And I wonder what this head looks like when he's fucking
Does he look any less like a ship lost at sea?
Does he flop like a fish dropped down on the deck?
And does he still never once make eye contact?
His head's over the shoulder
His head's on the pillow
His head's over the shoulder
He's looking at the stage
He's like me and you and her and also Johnny B. Goode
We're just fading and waiting for the time we will play
Now luckily a face walks up from back in the day
But even him I can't place
So right now name escape

Right now my hard drive's erased
Right now I've ran out of mind space
Right now we talk about the sound space
Right now heaven knows I'm miserable now
Right now heaven knows I'm missing you now

And I'm not sure I ever knew your face in the first place
And I'm sure not you ever placed first in the new face
And I'm sure not I ever not knew not your first place
And I'm not sure I ever not knew not your first face escape
