'why is the world so creepy?" she asked
After a car full of haircuts drove past
A backseat full of 'the boys'
I told her that 'it isn't...
That...that it's exquisite
But like love, it has it's barbarous threats
Still in spite of the cads
And the stoop-shouldered teens
I know i'm losing you
I know what that means, yea
I told her that it isn't
That it's real exquisite
But like love, it can have it's
Stubbed-toe effects
And juts like after she heard
The word 'iridescent'
And everything was iridescent for awhile,
It wasn't long
Before she exhalted out of nowhere,
'isn't this exquisite?'
Once you've said 'mmm' in unison
And 'oh' in double surprise
And shared relief with a mutual 'phew'
And a look in each others' eyes
I tell her that is isn't
Insisted that it isn't
Because like love
It has too-cunning effects
I told her that it isn't
That it's just exquisite
Because like love it has
It's barborous threats
'why is the world so creepy?' she asked
After a car full of haircuts drove past
A backseat full of the boys
Breaking glass
Throwing off glass.
