In very few words, this track captures the snapshot of someone disillusioned with their life – at the end of a night of sexual rejection and financial debt, they simply look into the “moving dark” before them, hopeless and small.
[Verse 1]
I will retire to the Salton Sea at the age of 23
For I'm starting to learn I may never be free
But though I may never be free
Fuck you and your money, I'm tired of your money
[Verse 2]
And I sit on the curb 'cause it's the prettiest night
With no one else in sight
You know I wore this dress for you
These killer heels for you
See the dark, it moves
With every breath of the breeze
[Outro]
Aah-ah! Aah! Aah! Aah! Aah!
Aah! Aah! Aah! Aah! Aah! Aah!
