lovely, lovely

If boys will just be coys, then I will fight for poise

Draw me up to your window, darling

Slipstream starlings, don't stop calling

We can do judo in the park after dark

And through and through, Pluto, you're the one in my arms

Lovely, lovely, when push starts shoving

You can spit in my eye when I cut the funding

And cut it out, what you're about

Is the path less traveled and it's for a reason

It's retiring early, it's a glorious season

It's a surly world, five easy pieces

So erase your past, it's a scandalous mass

Indifference to the matter sodded over with grass

And indifference to me is what you're toting around

You're always floating around, so, darling, all I ask is

If girls will just be girls, why will I still unfurl?

I was inept when you crept to me

But I let you in and it's plain to see that

When we're together, you pass the time

I never thought that you'd take up quilting

I make my money off the one percent

You make your money from babysitting

And one percent's the chance that you're caring again

And sharing a friend is what I haven't seen

It's catastrophe and blasphemy and lots of adjectivity

And nouns and all the other things I wish were simply passing me

So shake your past, it's a scandalous mass

Indifference to the matter sodded over with grass

And indifference to me is what you're toting around

You're always floating around, so, darling, all I ask is...
