WEBVTT
00:00:06.385 --> 00:00:08.900
Pandora picks Aaliyah
00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:11.567
and this song takes me back
00:00:11.567 --> 00:00:13.667
to what now seems like youth
00:00:13.667 --> 00:00:15.267
into Saturn return
00:00:15.267 --> 00:00:16.900
and you
00:00:16.900 --> 00:00:18.567
and that crappy old car radio
00:00:18.567 --> 00:00:20.039
with the broken cassette
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:21.300
and all that washboard
00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:22.933
and all that open space
00:00:22.933 --> 00:00:24.467
and all that dust
00:00:24.467 --> 00:00:26.367
kicking up into our skin
00:00:26.367 --> 00:00:28.467
into that tiny mountain cabin
00:00:28.467 --> 00:00:31.045
with the candles burning hot
00:00:31.045 --> 00:00:32.206
we would fuck
00:00:32.206 --> 00:00:34.371
like the earth was opening
00:00:36.014 --> 00:00:38.336
and then primp for the bar
00:00:38.336 --> 00:00:39.567
in the flickering light
00:00:39.567 --> 00:00:42.500
while the radio crackled and hissed pop songs
00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:44.667
we drove steep dirt roads
00:00:44.667 --> 00:00:46.033
into the night
00:00:46.033 --> 00:00:48.700
you kept a baseball bat behind your seat
00:00:48.700 --> 00:00:51.167
you held my hips while I danced
00:00:51.167 --> 00:00:53.429
this song takes me back
00:00:53.429 --> 00:00:54.933
to this need-heavy
00:00:54.933 --> 00:00:55.733
old as the hills
00:00:55.733 --> 00:00:57.067
butch femme lust
00:00:57.067 --> 00:00:58.367
revenge
00:00:58.367 --> 00:00:59.459
and desire
00:01:00.867 --> 00:01:02.067
and that old truck
00:01:02.067 --> 00:01:03.233
that broke your arm
00:01:03.233 --> 00:01:06.767
you kept a rag stuffed in the hole where the gas cap should've been
00:01:06.767 --> 00:01:08.667
you had to hit the starter with a metal pipe
00:01:08.667 --> 00:01:10.433
to get it to turn over
00:01:10.433 --> 00:01:13.433
god, I loved watching you pop that hood
00:01:13.433 --> 00:01:14.333
climb in there
00:01:14.333 --> 00:01:15.600
and beat that engine
00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:17.833
it made me wanna turn you over
00:01:17.833 --> 00:01:19.633
and take you back
00:01:19.633 --> 00:01:22.167
you pulled femme shine from my stone
00:01:22.167 --> 00:01:26.796
like brilliant choya flowers from Santa Fe sun
00:01:26.796 --> 00:01:29.833
like prayer under my breath
00:01:29.833 --> 00:01:33.200
I still ask for your forgiveness
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:34.800
for my own anger
00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:36.633
made by breaking
00:01:36.633 --> 00:01:38.667
drove our screeching
00:01:38.667 --> 00:01:40.367
how much I've learned from us
00:01:40.367 --> 00:01:42.957
how much I've changed
00:01:42.957 --> 00:01:44.600
how together we were
00:01:44.600 --> 00:01:46.626
fume and flame
00:01:46.626 --> 00:01:48.200
combustion
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:50.000
but we also climbed into the woods
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.667
and sat in wild silence
00:01:52.667 --> 00:01:54.800
we watched spiders spin webs
00:01:54.800 --> 00:01:56.867
and we laughed at birdsong
00:01:56.867 --> 00:02:00.033
but you, like Aaliyah, are gone now
00:02:00.033 --> 00:02:01.867
you're just fuming memories
00:02:01.867 --> 00:02:03.367
and flaming spirit
00:02:03.367 --> 00:02:05.000
kickin' up dust once in a while
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.200
when music takes me unawares
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:08.767
and turns me over
00:02:08.767 --> 00:02:10.450
and takes me back
00:02:10.450 --> 00:02:11.796
like Saturn
00:02:11.796 --> 00:02:12.367
returning
00:02:12.367 --> 00:02:13.548
to you.
00:02:13.733 --> 00:02:15.931
[applause]
