Mosquito bites last. the sting is brief. the itch is persistent but temporary. the scars last. sometimes longer than the memories. I have wonderful, blurry memories of a dark summer night, millions of stars, dancing in a kilt, not even realizing that I was being eaten alive.
out in the fields with no shoes on
flailing through the dark, we're perfectly gone
lights out, lights on, lights in the sky
watching you trade your vows made me cry
like crazy we danced all night long
in front of the barn to disco songs
the mosquitoes chewed my legs apart
the scars still pock me like abstract art
i wished i was the groom
i'd get my wish oh so soon
bites bites bites, i've got mosquito bites
sites sites sites, i've got you in my sites
out in the fields in a bright red kilt
dancing, spinning, going at full tilt
tricky moves, tricky grooves, i can almost fly
but i know when you leave it'll make me cry
like crazy we laughed 'til the break of dawn
wet in the grass on the farmhouse lawn
the mosquito bites driving me mad
but preoccupying me so i wasn't sad
i wished i was the bride
when i saw the love in her eyes
bites bites bites, i've got mosquito bites
sites sites sites, i've got you in my sites
