lyrics

POLLOCK IN PINK
by Pamela Means
tuning: B F# C# F# G# C#


began with words soup kettle heating
decibals rose back hand a'leaping
up from the table across her jaw
the lady he love lay in a curious sprawl

panic sussed him out of a saturday stupor
scooping up his wife religion in the two door
i'm sorry baby he kept repeating
sobering thoughts down the avenue speeding

with a thud and a clink
her head hit the sink
in the space of a blink
a pollock in pink

stitches came out ten days later
crescent scar shape of remainders
no charges filed domestic dispute
their three year old child saw the whole bloody truth

with a thud and a clink
her head hit the sink
in the space of a blink
a pollock in pink
