2008-06-02 - bag it up
Why did I think I wanted it? Like a cigarette I lit and just as quickly put it away tamped it out into my old ash tray Why do I delude myself into thinking I want something so bad it makes me try Only to find it is but so many strands grains of sands seeping through my hands Why did I go on my way reaching for the soup of the day wisps of smoke wafting down the avenue? When all I ever wanted... all I really wanted... all I ever wanted... ...was you. You. I took you into town looked you up and down. I filed you away in a folder Said maybe I will take you when you're older I thought you were a commonplace distraction I thought you were a passing phase attraction I pulled you out from time to time admired your face your photo mime Your beautiful shape. Your neck. Your nape. Your sweet and shy appeal. The way you made me feel. The way you put on weight from chef things you'd create and so filled out those jeans. Damn you looked so mean. The sexiest I'd seen. But that's not what I mean. This is more than lust This was based on trust This should not go bust How can we say "dust" I'll tell you how So listen now It's over like a pulled pork sow It's over like a dry milk cow It's over like a broken vow It wouldn't have worked out anyhow It's over and it cannot be again Sometimes you have take it on the chin That's the way love goes they say It won't come back another day It hoists the sails and lightens up the load It won't be waiting for you down the road You're out of here so don't you even start You've made your choice so get out of my heart! you stupid girl I love you you're so smart it serves me right that all I have is art!
