Warm Concrete (Variation)
Drift
Towel round your shoulders, chlorine drying tight, an ice pop melting down your wrist. Wet footprints on hot concrete, gone before you turn around.
Lyrics
Towel round my shoulders, chlorine drying tight
Ice pop running purple down my wrist
Snack bar radio leaking through the chain-link
Bass line slow enough to sit inside
Wet feet on warm concrete
Footprints gone before I turn around
Sun on my back like a palm pressed flat
Water in one ear and the bass in the other
Nobody watching from the deck chairs
My heel found the time before I did
Wet feet on warm concrete
Footprints gone before I turn around
Wet feet on warm concrete
Every step I take, the sun takes back
