Bought angel wings in West Hollywood So I wouldn't stand out when I pray Picked them up at baggage claim Thank you, God, I love to leave LA Pretend to turn twenty-two Watching the water slide deflate Swimming circles around an icy pool Rain on the ice cream cake Went through the trouble of being reborn But there was nothing to be done Everything is new to me And I am new for no one The sea pulled me down the sand bank The waves melting into my lap A pearl forming in my belly Don't stop now just like that Current grabbed me by the ankle Inhaled water, black as night Gave up my last breath in this body For a shot at a second try Went through the trouble of being reborn But there was nothing to be done Everything is new to me And I am new for no one Said that I looked the same to you But I'd seen the white light Glowing like only the Moon used to The sand on my hands crystallized Asked for a postmortem cigarette Only came back to quit smoking Thought I might've missed you Course I did, I'm only joking Went through the trouble of being reborn But there was nothing to be done Everything is new to me And I am new for no one
