ottamwa heights is just a name
council bluffs, i never been
a fire came and burned away
the only thing she'd have liked to save

do you remember?
do you recall?
anything at all
about her

eventually, you'll get the hang
as you try to navigate
some bars you'll learn not to go in
some hearts, you'll learn, you should not win

face down, linoleum
everybody knows
how such stories go

do you remember?
do you recall?
anything at all
about her

face down on linoleum
everybody knows
that these days i'm trying to be better than i used to be
