A Man With No Ankles

Somewhere between her window and my doorstep

I remembered what it was to play, to play, to play

Don’t tell me you can’t remember a time before our carnal needs

Turned us all into employers and employees

“The future is a constant in a world of free will

If we are all pre-destined, the future: Variable"

I wrote it, but I don’t know what it means, don’t know what it means

But a fat-fingered wife isn’t how I’m gonna end my teens

Upon upon upon the beauty I take the yoke and do my duty

Do do do do do do my duty do do do do do do my duty

Stopped by the river to fish out a fiver

Slipped off my sandals and I waded in there

Watched as the water licked my toes and my ankles

From the back of my neck, to the top of my head, oh!
