Television Glory
(Verlaine)
I was out stumbling in the rain staring at your lips so
red
You said, "'Blah, blah, blah" you got a pillow stuck in
your head"
How could I argue with a mirror
She looked at me. Yes, I hear her.
When I see the glory, I ain't gotta worry
She said, "There's a halo on that truck, won't you please
get it for me?"
I said, "Of course my little swan, if ever and ever you
adore me."
She got mad. She said, "you're too steep."
She put on her boxing gloves and went to sleep -
When I see the glory
A I ain't got no worries
