Trip

I was dipped in ink and into nightmares
He was my windburnt darling
Who lived in a customised ambulance
Played the atlas as a game of chance.

We were driving fast off the motorway onto country lanes
Where anything has happened
And I thought: shit, someone's stolen half the moon.
But it was only clouds
I think
So now I am very careful what I drink.
