Laments of a Mattress |
Green striped sheets lifted from me |
I am free of two very heavy bodies |
Once we three had slept soundly |
But I couldn’t keep them around |
Fold the blankets down |
And found new sleeping ground |
Bed springs squeaking |
Tires squealing away from one another |
We all used to be lovers here |
Bodies playing |
Stay they’ll |
Stay like their boxes stacked |
Stay labeled and separated |
Go ahead take the couch |
I know I don’t want to sit next to nobody |
Go ahead take the fridge and all |
I don’t want you going hungry |
Go ahead take the cat |
I know you’re only gonna be coming back |
Go ahead take it all |
I know how you’ve wanting to settle down down down |
Has it always been settling down? |
down down |
The one on the left says to the on the right |
I could make a very good wife for you |
The one on the right to the one on the left |
Let’s take this one step at a time |
One on the the right says to the one on the left |
You know I need you all the time I ah I |
The one on the left says to the one on the right |
I think I’ve changed my mind |
I can’t help but think |
My insides have to sing |
Now the weight gets the better of me |
And my insides have to sing |
Song for the sad ones |
Who say they’ll marry they guess |
She’s wearing a white dress if he behaves his very best |
Song for the sad ones |
Who say they’ll marry they guess |
She’s wearing a white dress if he behaves his very best |
Song for the sad ones |
Who say they’ll marry they guess |
She’s wearing a white dress if he behaves his very best |
Song for the sad ones |
Who say they’ll marry they guess |
She’s wearing a white dress if he behaves his very best |
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah |
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes |
Go ahead take the couch |
I know I don’t want to sit next to nobody |
Go ahead take the fridge and all |
I don’t want you going hungry |
Go ahead take the cat |
I know you’re coming back so |
Go ahead take it all |
I know how you’ve been |
You’ve been wanting to all this time |
To settle down all |
Has it always been settling down? |
down down |
My elastic, steel and spring |
They will tell you everything |
If you lay down |
For a minute |
Oh my elastic, steel and spring |
They will tell you everything |
If you lay down |
For a minute |
The mattress maker’s making his living by the minute, by the minute |
The mattress maker’s making his living by the minute, by the minute |
The mattress maker’s making his living by the minute, by the minute |
The mattress maker’s making his living by the minute, by the minute |
So, go ahead |
