cigarette butt

A cigarette butt
Between the fingertips of a girl I don't know
She says she wants to kiss me
How could I say no?

And I wonder if her breath would taste of fire
And I wonder if she knows that I share her strange desire

But I turn away
And say to the girl
"I'd love to, but there's death in the air
The virus could kill us both"

Bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum

Then, she looks ashamed
She says, "It was a stupid question
Please, can we forget I ever asked?"

And then I take her into my arms
And I tell her I would rather remember this
And as she starts to fall apart
The light escapes my broken heart
And I know we'll be immortalized on the sidewalk

It's like crawling into the frame of a painting of perfection
And living in the oil
