Shelling Peanuts

[bluestoy]

when do you feel like a million bucks?
when the heroin hits
when the singer hits that high note
in a song from awhile back
when there was still some love to be lost

the last time you left the apartment
it was a hot sunny afternoon
the pavement burnt the rubber from car tires
spinning in the gravel, making the pebbles jump

that is the last time I saw you
and now when I walk through the city in the rain
I can feel like that again
you make me smile through the tears
and then I feel like a million bucks
