but she's a saturday sinner
suicide sunday desserts for weekends drinking her dinner
the worry keeps her slender
her man can't make her happy
but he helps to still the shakes
met her boyfriend at the bar
said i could keep the cocktails
martinis taste like tears
i asked if he would leave her
he passed the pitcher back to me and asked what i believe
i said virginity is a childhood disease
and these days it seems have interest in the addict thief
patience for the epigrammatic
there's only four ways to acquire
anyone who says different is a salesman or a liar
i haven't found a single way to keep it
you can teach it to stay and it'll leave
you can case and display it
and day by day it leaves you by degrees
he put his hand on my knee
sometimes that's what it takes
but he helps to still the shakes
for all the noise you make
congratulations to the dry eyes
and consolations to the nice guys
and condensation's on the underside of everything i touch
i seem to chill the objects that i meant so much to love
a man can keep you sane five-hundred-and-fifty days
give or take an afternoon
we should have sooner left the train
i guess that makes us the survivors
tumor blooming in my brain: i hate it
but it makes the colors brighter
spite the man that leaves ya
like the sad disease you contracted while sitting boring and bored
come back from the lab report
only the rich are afforded
only the rich are afforded
only the rich are afforded
for all the noise you make
