Lord am I, Lord am I misbegotten
Breaking my heart on a stool that’s not in my way
Can’t stop this wayward tongue
From licking the gap where that lost tooth went missing from
You’re an irresistible void
You stashed me underground We’re like Romeo and oubliette
Strangers are just friends you haven’t left yet
Please don’t pet me while I’m working
Please don’t pet me
Who am I but a big imposter?
For best original score the Oscar goes to…
Can’t plow around that stump
Instead it’s a briefcase handcuffed to my ankle
With the dossier of nuclear launch codes
I’m just a clump of cells
But you dazzle from your minaret
We’re embryo and Juliet
Strangers are just friends you haven’t left yet
Please don’t pet me while I’m working
Please don’t pet me while I’m working
Please don’t pet me while I’m working
Please don’t pet me while I’m working
