[Verse 1] On the pier they’re building Some second-floor place I can see the ocean And the bill in my face Half-black, half-white cat Cuts across the street Dead crow by the pavement Summer on repeat [Pre-Chorus] Four cops in a ring Around one small frame Hands held behind him No one said his name [Chorus] Still good, sweetie? Still good, sweetie? Hey, sweetie, hey My head goes quiet Nam Mô A Di Đà Phật Nam Mô A Di Đà Phật Keep me peaceful Keep me quiet [Verse 2] On the bus, one big man Yells from the seat Then he leans on the wall At the stop by my feet A short woman calls out With a smell I can’t place “Hey. HEY! SWEETIE. HEY!” Right into my space [Pre-Chorus] I kept my cap low Sixty-two, white hair But I still felt younger Standing in there [Chorus] Still good, sweetie? Still good, sweetie? Hey, sweetie, hey My head goes quiet Nam Mô A Di Đà Phật Nam Mô A Di Đà Phật Keep me peaceful Keep me quiet [Bridge] This morning at the DMV A tingling rose Not joy, not ecstasy Just a warm slow glow I left her talking Left that smell behind My snake-demon shadow Sent one thought inside [Final Chorus] Still good, sweetie? Still good, sweetie? Hey, sweetie, hey My head goes quiet Nam Mô A Di Đà Phật Nam Mô A Di Đà Phật Rain is coming I can feel it Still good, sweetie? Still good, sweetie? Winter in my life But I’m still here
