Instagram user @samualo asked “Process question: Why is Cheyenne sexy and then murder” to which Jahnke replied, “because murder and then sexy didn’t work.”
Audible pop in the hammock
Gravity comes outta habit
Land on our back, get your breath kidnapped
Ain't a kind of theft if you laugh whenever you can inhale
I wanna lay
Right here with you
For the whole day
Don't wanna move 'til you say we should
Our tub is clawfoot
God, our love is all good
Naked with no falsehood
I can see you just fine
God, you're fine too
Tell me if I'm out of line
You just twist so easily
How you stretch when waking up, ooh-wee
Trouble is that anyone seeing all that
They might die
What a way to go, wouldn't mind
You like the C10 hood vibration
And a country FM station
Audible poppin' of static
Bang on the dash outta habit
Baby, if I hurry I can make Cheyenne
Reason that I'm going's on the other hand
Mile upon mile, radio dialing
Chevrolet Novocain riding
Feeling our feelings on an island
Good timing
And then I park the truck
But I leave it running
You know something's up
I, I wrap my fingers 'round your throat
I feel your neck pop, lights go out
Then I wake on the ground
Tangled up in strings
Birds above me singing
Hammock all in pieces
You're awake there beside me
Saying, "Darling, are you crying?"
