Frank Forgets

Leo Kottke · Burnt Lips [1989]

Jane Alone and someone else

set out across the lawn

after the rapid train

with gloves they'd brought along



And underneath the stupid moon

impaled upon their prank

Jane Alone and someone else

made a mess of Frank



His hand was where his nose should be

his head stuck up his ass

he walked on one leg naturally

and watched the bipeds pass



So now and then, when lost friends call

to recount the past

Frank forgets cause he came too late

and love's run out of gas

and love's run out of gas
