No More Names (Aditi)

I met her at an art show, she looked like Halle Walked to a loft show, I pissed in the alley And she didn’t seem to mind, turned a blind eye To the crassness and casual actions designed to repel Other guys woulda fed her a line but I’m not them other guys I was steadfast in my traction plus I sensed the attraction Didn’t manufacture a tryst or a passionate shift She wrote those digits on my wrist With the bubble letter penmanship Befitting the sex with the gentler gifts I started serving her heart-shaped sentiments Like the ones on the heart-shaped cinnamons Every other day I sent her another mix And just like that, it was off we went [Hook] I used to say no more names People were framed in the songs I sang I used to say no more names The ones I’d say would get filled with pain A-D-I-T-I, why do you look so fly? You got me breakin’ rules and playin’ the fool I’d do anything to be staying with you Spend my days thinkin’ of statements to prove What I’m saying to you is true, cause it is You sit there and listen when I talk about biz You wait for me in the dark when the party is chalked And we walk and walk and walk, I hope it never stops Through the squawks of snowplows and alarm clocks That buzz at the slight pulse of a whisper I used to wonder how you might talk And look, there was no way to predict her And now you have a name so I say it to you Song and dance, telegram man, relay it to you Skype, phone, print, whatever way display it to you This my way of sayin’ I’m not playin’ with you [Hook] I used to say no more names People were framed in the songs I sang I used to say no more names The ones I’d say would get filled with pain A-D-I-T-I, chicka boom boom chicka boom
