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
