Ponies

Kevin hurt me with a cheap shot to my pride

Now what the fuck do you call that?

I thought I knew him... maybe not

Allegra lashed out with a cruelty I've never known

It made me cringe... I nearly choked

Are you my man?

Yeah I'm your man

And who left you that keyhole in your heart?

Angry people populate your bedroom after dark

And I can help you only if you believe you're beyond help

I'm fading away

Deep breath

Now hold it for a little bit longer

My god no wonder I'm ill

Maybe I'm not ready for the real world

My friend Keith would hold me underwater, when we were 10

He'd let me up when I turn blue, then push me down again

I hardly ever think of Keith, or that dead cat in the pool

He'd flick a lighter underneath my chin

Are you my man?

Yeah I'm your man

And who left you that keyhole in your heart?

Angry people populate your bedroom after dark

And I can help you only if you believe you're beyond help

I'm fading away

Deep breath

Now hold it for a little bit longer

My god no wonder I'm ill

Maybe I'm not made for the real world

High tension gigantic implosion now

I wed my child bride

A gangly Puerto Rican teen

We cuddle in the dark and brag about our gangrene

And who could help me now that I believe I'm beyond help?

Old ponies should die, not fade away

Deep breath

Now hold it for a little bit longer

If I try hard I've a imagine

I've a crookback and a whiphand

Maybe I'm not ready for the real world

High tension gigantic implosion now
