Sweet Frown

I swear I dreamed you up last week

And when I found your image tweaked

I said, "Can't we just get along?"

An undone song tags along

Shoed in Keds, flees your head

Incomplete half-formed feet

Leaves your lips, leather nips

I swear I found you at my fingertips

Thinking this was something that shouldn't be wrong

Smiling strong, front tooth gone

Crooked grill, window sill

Holds a plant, baskets can't

Deemed unpure, fishing lure

I swear I thought we met before

I heard a ring you knocked my door

And now I know which way to go, dear

I swear we kissed at parties past

You winked at me, I pinched your ass

And now I know which class you are, dear

I think I dreamed my bedroom clean

But when I woke, the trash had teamed

I thought can't we just get along?

Run the seams, smile-sent beams

Light the way, trust no ray

Pay for paved, play it saved

Films get clipped, waiters tipped

I think I found you using q-tips

Thinking this was something that shouldn't be wrong

Fingers ring, words slurring

Real life twice, gambler's dice

Motor bikes, poor man's dyke

Anti-leak, parrot's beak

I think I sinked three ships last week

I burnt a bridge and climbed a peak

And now I know, how not to make friends

I think I called your girlfriend fat and stole a song from Ratatat

And now I know what lawsuits feel like

Ain't nothing but a little bite of sugar

Can make these words go down

Ain't nothing but a little bite of sugar

Will make it sweet to taste this frown

I feel I dream I screwed the team

But when I woke, my cleats were clean

I thought, I did it just for the song

Clothes breed rips, babes from hips

Blamed too much, bought for touch

Bear-like back, sweaters lack

Threadbare kiss, part-time bliss

I feel the kiss was the right dismiss

But there's always nothing you read straight wrong

All done song, tags along

Not questioned, tests done run

Chorus tossed, lyrics lost

Comprehend at the end

I feel I've been a naughty friend

I robbed your coat and stole your pen

And now I know what karma writes like

I feel the sand beneath my toes

The hours pass, the tension grows

And now I know why day trips take long

Ain't nothing but a little bite of sugar

Can make these words go down

Ain't nothing but a little bite of sugar

Will make it sweet to taste this frown
