The night before we had discussed it extensively over the phone |
|
That was where me and melanie kept our relationship safe |
|
Revelations took place during commercial breaks |
|
And we'd say we were running away and settling |
|
In the theatre where they shot david letterman |
|
Our only hope for some understanding |
|
He'd take care of us, ??? parents |
|
But the marriage itself |
|
It was hurried and casual |
|
I don't know where she came up the ritual |
|
After the bell and before second period |
|
Out in the hall she gave me a petal |
|
We swalloed to pieces of flowers together |
|
And then we were married |
|
Until she said one of us lied to the other |
|
That meant that the petals inside us were dead |
|
I got married |
|
I got scared to death |
|
I got sick |
|
From all the petals i haven't eaten |
|
Say yes to me, take this ??? in destiny |
|
Say i do, make me believe it |
|
Ten months of marriage and no consummation |
|
Right there for the taking |
|
This scared 7th grader could not kiss her |
|
Just the thought of first base |
|
And surprise, i'm MIA from the stadium |
|
??? and greenside, an open drainage pipe, beckoning inside |
|
??? waiting, i pussied out nervous |
|
Alone, above ground, to the place where the sewers resurfaced i walked |
|
Afraid of the dark, afraid i'd stay pushing away what i wanted |
|
But clearly more fearful of acting, of getting it |
|
Behind the library we sat together |
|
And she liked the veins in my wrist, she touched them |
|
Her first boyfriend bill, before his expulsion |
|
Brought her here for what she called mouthrape |
|
So i never tried it, beside her afraid |
|
I saw her a year ago, might have been more |
|
She was working at janda, a cockiesville florist |
|
Said nothing of course, tongue sore from the biting |
|
Well aware of the corpse of those petals inside me |
|
I got married |
|
I got scared to death |
|
I got sick |
|
From all the petals i haven't eaten |
|
Say yes to me, take this ??? in destiny |
|
Say i do, make me believe it |
