back in the day, my friend lala and i would hit up this AM rollerskating club in fountain valley, called koffee klutch. $6 for a pair of skates and a cup of coffee. watching the elderly crowd cruise around the rink so gracefully in sync, i wanted to be like that so badly. this is probably the first "real" judy gloom song.
lyrics
i want to be
poised in beauty
arching
still dreamy to me
blistered and bloody
in rental skates
power within me
glamour emitting
i am ghostly
tropical rain
lonely eyed, smoking
dual side mirror
take me to where
crane's sail, through neon
i peer
adonis in sequin
the air around me gleaming
i am haunting
i want to be
one who embodies
the astral waxings
kindred to me
spirits entwining
in retrograde
angst as my master
novice wave caster
i go faster
