In the flesh, non-fiction, siamese
Between a credit card, I lean
I wrote letters, you seemed keen
Come here and meet me two cities over please
Hey big star, the consolation prize
Is behind a paywall you can't peek behind
And there I was, by the Rolodex

I just thought it might be nice, I guess
And then she took me by the hand, and she said, "Let's"
Half an hour passes
And two people stare at me in the mirror
I've never spared a thought of God
For more than one second but I think I'm a believer
So when she told me to close my eyes for a second
I just couldn't quite believe her
Then I noticed a .45 on the nightstand
Sitting country sentimental
Then she took me right there by my right hand
