Charlie’s walking with Claire, Judy's walking with me. Claire asks if she’d like to join, she says that’d be nice and I don’t know what the hell's going on, but soon we’re walking the street. I didn’t think it was that funny the first time around. He says “We’re making our way to the moon and we’re taking off soon.” She’s asking Rose for her bill and just as she’s paying Judy walks in the door, she’s giving Charlie a hug, she won’t look in my eyes but she asks where we’re going. I don’t think it saves me but she doesn’t seem to care. She says I’d be down for the moon but I didn’t bring my helmet, she catches me rolling my eyes. He says, “We’re making our way to the moon and we’re taking off soon.”
“Did you drag me off of my couch so we could sit here in silence until we say goodnight?” He says, “We need a change of scene, let’s go to the bar around the corner where it’s always dark.” And as we’re putting our money down, Claire’s asking Charlie if we’re hitting the town. “Are you gonna mope all night?” I focus my eyes, I guess he’s probably right. Oh I’m just fine, I’m wasting time, sometimes there’s no better feeling than that. He asked Rose for one glass of merlot and she laughed. Sometimes I need to clear my mind, you know how that can be.Ĭharlie walked in about a quarter past ten and I said “Greetings, old man.” He hung his coat on the wall and took the stool next to mine. But I got so tired of her calling this our disease, ‘cause I’m just fine. I said thanks and thought about how Judy used to come here with me. She didn’t ask, she just opened a cold can and set it down in front of me. Oh somehow Rose always knows just exactly what I need. Chewed my way out the door and walked down the street to the neon skyline, I grabbed myself a stool at the bar. I looked in my fridge, it was a dark scene so I buttered some bread. I called up Charlie about a quarter past nine and said, “What’s going on tonight?” He said, “No plans, but I wouldn’t mind holding a lighter head tonight.” I said, “Come to the Skyline, I’ll be washing my sins away.” He just laughed, said “I’ll be late, you know how I can be.”
