Rollercoasters and Earl Gray Malts

Ocelot babies but not bath salts

Harvest moon in the arms of a tree

Which has been growing there for centuries

Bassoons, trombones and French horn sections

Bass clarinets and string art collections

Owls and guitars when they do not match

Gilda, Kristen, Cheri, Tina, Amy and Rachel Dratch

All these things they're just disappointing

All these things they're just disappointing compared to you

There‘s nothing more beautiful than your smile as it conquers your face

There‘s nothing more comforting than to know, know you exist in this time, in this place

The genitive case in German, it’s true

Is something that I’m quite partial to

Rachmaninov, Scriabin, Prokofiev

Dostoevsky, Bulgakov, Vysotsky and Lev

Francis Bacon, dolomites

Ballet dancers with or without tights

Central Park on an autumn day

Will always be stunning and never cliché

All these things they're just disappointing

All these things they're just disappointing compared to you

There‘s nothing more beautiful than your smile as it conquers your face

There‘s nothing more comforting than to know, know you exist in this time, in this place

All these things they're just disappointing

All these things they're just disappointing compared to you

There‘s nothing more beautiful than your smile as it conquers your face

There‘s nothing more comforting than to know, know you exist in this time, in this place
