Mendoza Line Damn Good Disguise
you long for a bar with a quiet room but no one's gonna
treat you like a kid that way you've got trouble enough
since you f..cked the landlord you're breaking like
eggshells from under the car door the grains of regret
still blooming in her face now nothing is settled so that
makes you nervous cause you won't be so lucky when they
figure it out and your hand moves so slightly she'd
scarcely notice what you call audacious dear i barely
count and i won't be there when you change your mind but
if your heart should change i guess i might be found
whether covered up with lies under paint that never dries
it'll take a damn good disguise to live this one down now
you run very slowly but not without purpose you step in a
verse you walk always in rain and me some small token of
your inaffection that lingers unwelcome and then drifts
away we deferred to your parents who gladly consented
though you were pretending and i really meant it you turn
a blind eye to a blank wall and that's our life hey
you're killing me with protocol she acts just like she's
seen it all but i don't think she's seen this a big shot
at the mini mall you learned it all before you could
crawl it don't make you a genius now the obsessives
tribunal has brought you to trial for an in gratitude
that surprises even yourself and the things you were
given that you claim to find vial you cling to like
cancer impeaching your health and i do not wish this
misery upon you oranyone else that it might desire though
it is my fear darling that it will choose you and it is
my fear darling that you will requite it
