[00:21.99] To be born is anything but this
[00:24.84] The dying wish of a dinosaur's dish
[00:27.42] Of no use, a shitty gift like a single slipper
[00:30.12] I go diffuse in city quick like the little dipper
[00:33.30] She's cute with little titties and a sense of humor
[00:36.30] But to tell you the truth, sir
[00:38.04] I pity the poor fool, her
[00:39.72] Fruitless in a holster and clueless in a kiss
[00:42.60] I'm older than death
[00:43.68] Vulgar with unfresh breath
[00:45.33] During *** I might put us in some joke positions
[00:48.36] But it's scary always how we end up in missionary
[00:52.08] Like the daring men who fight to submission
[00:54.33] Barely conscious there to care about the split decision
[00:57.21] Your sour thoughts you wield at me
[00:59.07] You wring out your melon
[01:00.39] But it yields only drops like an unripe lemon
[01:03.60] All a man can understand is your bad intentions
[01:06.48] The less you talk the more you draw and seal and ending
[01:09.36] Keep leafing through the glossary
[01:11.22] Sitting there puffing ****
[01:12.81] Telling me repeatedly all the things you want to be
[01:15.54] The thug's just a boy once my money in the bags
[01:18.42] Is your love but a ploy like Bugs Bunny in drag?
[01:21.48] I leave my lungs open, exposed to the whole crew
[01:24.51] While you sneak a bump and smoke cloves in the coat room
[01:27.69] Itching like a local ho
[01:29.22] Wishing like Pinocchio
[01:30.57] The wind is at my back anew
[01:32.07] But still I feel the lack of you
[01:33.66] Oh, you were so heavy in my heart, boo
[01:36.24] That soon no longer could my true heart hold you
[01:39.06] And like the angular Etruscan tchotchke my mom got me
[01:42.48] At the Met gift shop in '92
[01:45.03] Tearing from the brown paper bag I kept it in when it was new
[01:48.30] After I left it overnight when it was wet with dew
[01:51.21] It sounds blue and shitty
[01:52.95] But of course kid, like the little skinny bronze horse did
[01:56.37] You fell through
[01:57.72] You were like a buoy I put down in open ocean
[02:00.48] But with no cross staff and no compass in my possession
[02:03.51] And too far out for a lighthouse to provide discretion
[02:06.75] How could I presume that you'd divine direction
[02:09.72] Must have patience
[02:11.13] Accept no imitations
[02:12.69] Take no paper hearts and ******* hate carnations
[02:15.69] Though my home is vacant
[02:17.01] Yeah I'm lonesome while I wait
[02:18.42] That's no open invitation made to hope we make acquaintance
[02:21.60] The long walks home from the laundromat
[02:24.57] In Pop-Pop's Holden Caulfield hat
[02:27.30] Alone, lost for certain
[02:29.16] Dry and pent
[02:30.39] Dead bent like a merchant ivory gent
[02:33.21] Yes, to yet get a spouse and kids
[02:35.70] Have a house full
[02:36.66] But I'm hard to be around
[02:38.19] And sterile as a roused mule
[02:39.87] Preemptive nostalgia of the possible but doubtful
[02:42.63] Preemptive nostalgia of the possible but doubtful
[03:15.63] And always something reminds me of you
