Jealousy
All of a sudden appearing while in bed
Selfishness taking residence… Crying from unmerciful jealousy
Jealousy Whenever the
phone rings, shameful jealousy causes
my wrinkled hands and feet shake with impatience
Jealousy, shameful jealousy
Jealousy, are you me?
Jealousy How many weeks
from then, still appearing while in bed
In the kitchen, at a garbage can, in a chest - this ever increasing
jealousy
Jealousy is spreading throughout those places
Jealousy is way over there, over here, and over by you too
Please, stop it already! Please,
make the jealousy disappear!
No matter which way I try, it doesn’t happen
Jealousy Jealousy
Jealousy
Jealousy I want to
sleep! Jealousy
Stop already! Stop so I can sleep!
Jealousy I give up
trying to get cake
and settle for the tiny little biscuit in my pocket
It’s 3:00 and very soon the jealousy comes
Jealousy Unsuitable
jealousy
Jealousy Who are you?
Jealousy How many
months has it come while I lie in bed
In the kitchen, at the garbage can, in a chest - the jealousy seems
enormous
And tomorrow too, at my morning part-time job at the bakery
Jealous thoughts about 3 people are
sucked into my mind ‘til I can’t get them out…
If I bake them beautifully brown, it’s OK
Jealousy
Jealousy
Jealousy Jealousy
Jealousy
Jealousy Jealousy
Oh, yeah!
