专辑 | Secrets From The Future |
You got Asperger's, this ain't a barbecue. | |
It's your whole afternoon though, lost down a rabbit hole, | |
looking for a timepiece, wonder when your date's at, | |
wonder if she'll visit you at all today — relax. | |
Wonder how many ribbons to expect in her hair — | |
to deflect talk of triplets in respect for the pair | |
or to stare at the bow made of four different colors — | |
didn't notice someone talking to you: there were others | |
in the room, out in the gloom of the periphery. | |
To shift your focus for a moment is to give the ribbons liberty, | |
and that's to suggest they make escape. | |
This is a secret from the future: can't rewind like a tape. | |
Got to make the best and the most of each second as it happens, | |
got to keep your eyes on those bows, got to trap in | |
your vision all four of them ‘cause this is a first: | |
she might have noticed last time that you like ribbons that are hers. | |
And sometimes you wish you didn't. Sometimes it slips your mind. | |
But when she's supposed to visit isn't one of those times, | |
and you're on one of those lines of thought that you encounter | |
when you'd rather your surroundings were quieter instead of louder | |
so that you could focus on other than a clock tick. | |
You don't want to talk shit but the one who made the clock made the cog stick. | |
Minutes are violent noise, | |
obliterating what you thought of as silent poise . | |
Miles of boys before you done got crushed | |
out on a girl like that, her hair flush | |
with ribbons on all occasions and every day. | |
If only making study of the bow could stem its getaway. | |
Letter A S P E R G E R S: | |
wonder whether she's so confident with alphabets | |
that she'd do it backwards skipping alternate letters. | |
If you offer demonstration, would she consider that clever? | |
This bitter endeavor: trying to predict a reaction. | |
You know you're supposed to try to give the notion traction | |
but it don't do nothing ‘cept make the clock tick. | |
It don't even do that. Yo, you got Asperger's, kid. | |
And I feel for you, son. I know love is hard. | |
Can't even write down all the answers on the back of a card. | |
From the back and the far end of a cafeteria line | |
you seem to catch sight of a ribbon. Fabric shines, | |
and you abandon your tray, leave it clatter on the floor. | |
You haven't planned it this way. You can't look at her no more. | |
You don't know what her eyes are like, whether she ever smiles, | |
whether anything other than how she wears her hair beguiles. | |
And while some apron ladies holler at you, | |
you clutch your left ear and stand still like a statue. | |
You could count cut corn on the floor without subtracting | |
misplaced fish sticks like Dustin Hoffman overacting. | |
Ain't this already a scene in need of a fast forward? | |
Why won't the lunch people hush, do they court discord? | |
You think you see a flash of color fleeing; it could be worse: | |
you could have known how many ribbons there are, if they were hers. |
You got Asperger' s, this ain' t a barbecue. | |
