I've been told about my grandfather's Rolex
how it measures wealth and time
a funny irony that he'll never unpack
then again neither will I
So I built shelter in the middle of her dorm room
and I sought solace down at the River Cam
the cobbled streets and effete academics
never hushed the tick of the hand
All of my fraternity buddies
are outside blaring The Feelies
they traded laptop computers for electric guitars
crafting curated beauty kid avatars
Drunk in Uptown Dallas
filled with hate and malice
recalling campus romance as a means to an end
disjunctive storytelling
is it really worth selling?
I guess only time will tell
I saw her sobbing in her daddy's Range Rover
another lacrimal event about a boy
I never was one for soft embraces
I'll hold her close tonight and confront the void
She turned twenty and she cut her hair with a pocket knife
flicked off the camera at the catacombs of Paris
refreshed the New York Times as the bombs blew
ironically came home and quoted critical theorists
All of my fraternity buddies
are outside blaring The Feelies
they traded laptop computers for electric guitars
crafting curated beauty kid avatars
Drunk in Uptown Dallas
filled with hate and malice
recalling campus romance as a means to an end
disjunctive storytelling
is it really worth selling?
I guess only time will tell
