Uniform

[Verse 1]
Your rubber legs
By the river’s edge
You say your cigarette needs a light
This second is the rest of my life

Tell all my pillows softly
“I’m just as worn as you”
You’ve been away for ages, stay awhile
Or cut me down with a clinical smile

[Chorus]
You look just like me
With your collar, red
And your knees stained green all night
In your uniform torn down the side

[Verse 2]
Meet by the bank where the bridge is gone
We stayed up ‘till the break of dawn
Until you wonder, hushed in a whisper
“Just how long is forever?”

Tune out the sound completely
Cover your eyes
Figures dressed in your bed
Discreetly dream of you and I

[Chorus]
You look just like me
With your collar, red
And your knees stained green all night
In your uniform torn down the side

[Post-Chorus]
In the pictures that I tore
Of your collar, red like wine
Do your rubber legs still shake
Through the night in my uniform?
