lyrics

Tampa Nightclub Incident

I suppose there's no chance of you leaving your boyfriend
When the soldiers won't let you leave his apartment
But full disclosure: I want you to know
My offer still stands when all of this nonsense ends
Downwind of the Air Force hangar
The sirens are almost a 1am banger

The nightclub where you drilled into my head
Is filling up with unidentified dead
While I'm losing my figure and losing my mind
But I won't lose my memory of small talk in 4/4 time
Nightlife is dead in the Bay
But I can still love you from six feet away

I didn't hit the floor hard just to fall for you
But I got your digits then the National Guard rolled through
Wait for me, will you wait for me?
An infected cruise ship stranded at sea
We would have been happy, maybe someday we still could be

My grandfather was a Taiwanese citizen
If we get married I'm sure they will let us in
I don't think Tampa will ever be safe again
In October let's go where they still have medicine
Just a brief quarantine
They say Taipei is pricey but clean

I know I shouldn't make contact at all
If he checks your phone he would see that I called
So I'll pretend to walk to a job in a hospital
Stand by the window if at all possible
Hey, at 7pm
Wave if we'll ever be together again

I didn't hit the floor hard just to fall for you
But I got your digits then the National Guard rolled through
Wait for me, will you wait for me?
An infected cruise ship stranded at sea
We would have been happy, maybe someday we still could be
