The Pursewarden Affair |
| Percy Pursewarden |
| Open up your door |
| I haven’t come to break your cadence |
| Or mix your metaphor |
| And if I swore I was no critic would you let me come inside? |
| Would you write your famous lines? |
| And you lay your secret plans |
| For suicide by slight of hand? |
| And you let me down so kindly |
| You don’t love me |
| But you don’t mind me |
| Percy Pursewarden |
| After all your hard traveling |
| Think a girl could lay down beside you without your world unraveling? |
| In a modeling mess |
| Yes, that’s my clothing in a pile |
| Just wanna stay a little while |
| Just wanna see that crooked grin |
| After the sedatives set in, hey |
| And then we’re feeling fine |
| You don’t love me |
| I don’t mind |
| Percy Pursewarden |
| I’ll be gone before you wake |
| Back to the gallery of failures to see what I can make of you |
| Pursewarden |
| Have mercy on my heart |
| Maybe I don’t want to call it art |
| Just because you nailed it to the wall |
| Maybe I’m a critic after all |
| And you don’t have to remind me |
| You don’t love me |
| But you don’t mind me |
