| A ceiling fan can’t make a man
|
| Make a change in plans or give a fuck
|
| I think I am the one that you want to see things through with
|
| Rebel academics with delirious souls
|
| Jeff Foxworthy in a serious role
|
| We’re making resumes out of things we’d really rather not screw with
|
| Things a ceiling fan ain’t had nuthin' to do with
|
| Now the morning dawn is dripping in
|
| The morning doves in song again
|
| How could I have been so irresponsible with my time
|
| Gossip stops at the top of the hill
|
| Wage strike at the rumor mill
|
| You ask me straight if I will love you, I say that I will try
|
| The dawn is terminal with doves now
|
| Their song sounds like a cover of mine
|
| But it takes a long time for me, babe
|
| Just to fake it in the light of day
|
| There’s a styrofoam Big Gulp waiting on your gravestone
|
| Say it to me kindly
|
| You had the face of a whorehouse clock
|
| When we learned that the case was a courthouse flop
|
| The jury is erased with a swing of a wand
|
| Earth ages in a cosmic mirror
|
| It all seems like a lifetime sentence ago
|
| A ceiling fan can’t make a man
|
| Make him whole again or even half
|
| I think I walk the path with which you’d like your path to blend
|
| Broodmares immaculate defeat
|
| Easter bunch at the O.T.B
|
| Where you can lead a horse to the finish line but you but cannot make it win
|
| The fridge is terminal with save the dates
|
| From all my since-divorcee friends
|
| The evening dusk is sinking in
|
| The evening dust swept up again
|
| The air conditioner hums and the doves they sing to the tune
|
| Edibles and lipstick
|
| Edibles and lipstick
|
| Faded popes in an imitation triptych
|
| All the thoughts you fit inside one room
|
| You’ve unconsigned yourself and not a minute too soon
|
| But it takes a long time for you
|
| To learn to fake it in the nighttime too
|
| There’s a styrofoam Big gulp waiting on your grave
|
| You can see it when the light shines through
|
| And it takes a long time for the message to break
|
| You can feel it inside when the ceiling fan aches
|
| The fury is erased with the swing of a wand
|
| Earth ages in a cosmic mirror
|
| It all seems like a lifetime sentence ago |
