A picture of a covered bridge
In the kitchen where your cousin lives. 
Some stables on some acreage.
I swore we rode some horses.

But she claims that isn't how it went. 
She said I mostly sweat the bed. 
Dripping wet with doom and death. 
Disheveled and disinterested.

She said it was embarrassing
That they billed her for my damages. 
Put my fist right through the fishtank. 
Cut the curtains into bandages man.

I admit thats probably possible
There were years where i was feverish. 
The history's rewritten
When the memories get meddled with.

The way that I remember it
There were saddle sores and bridle straps.
There might have been another man. 
There might have been some overlap.

The guests were gathered around the feast. 
The servants set the table.
The caterers were new wave and
The cooks were all nu metal.
That's how I remember it.

Some discolored Polaroid 
Fell out of a paperback.
I look wild. You look annoyed. 
You ended it just after that.

So sorry if I called too late.
Just trying get the story straight.
You said that's just not the way it went. 
Somehow you've it twisted, kid.

I admit it's probably plausible 
That I'm way too sentimental.
On the last limb of the family tree 
With a legacy of rentals.

She said my cousin had a surgery. 
They pulled out some impacted teeth. 
We went up to help her convalesce 
She said she share her pain relief.

Watched movies in her living room. 
A Gatsby and some westerns.
Her boy stopped in after his shift
In some kitchen at some restaurant.

Vietnamese delivery
Then after dinner dancing. 
You fell into the fishtank. 
You bled all over everything.

She said the way that you remember it 
Somehow got distorted.

There were never any caterers. 
There were never any horses.

There was never any acreage. 
There were never any horses.

There were never any caterers. 
There were never any horses.
