Home
I saw you standing there
You had gold dust in your pocket
You combed barbed wire through your hair
You thought I didn't notice
The skin on your teeth had a tear
I tried not to notice so you started to shout
Then you and all your minions
Started flapping your tiny arms all about
They said you were a wise man
Women teach wise men to pout
I tried to forget you
But you tied bells to your name
They jingle every time I thought of you
Without shame
I tried to be unlovable
Why couldn't you do the same?
What's the matter?
Don't you love me no more?
Alright then
Love me just leave me alone
Your mind is a circle
But it thinks in straight lines
Your arms are like corset strings
They only know how to bind
Lemmings are adorable
Why don't you try it sometime?
Your mother was a wolf bite
Your daddy was a cigarette
Your brother was a rose bud
Cross bred with a car wreck
Your sister was a stockbroker
But you ain't nothing but a turtleneck
What's the matter?
Don't you love me no more?
Alright then
Love me just leave me alone
It's not your little boy smile
It's not your little boy name
It's those big boy hands
That are the ones to blame
I tried to be unlovable
Why couldn't you do the same?
What's the matter?
Don't you love me no more?
Alright then
Love me just leave me alone
What's the matter?
Don't you love me no more?
Alright then
Love me just leave me alone
