Pushing the Pink Envelope

Last night, I dreamt that you moved on without me Husband, kids, house, the works All recited on a player piano, I could never seem to find the right notes Military-grade memories in a cab ride The Masonic lodge menagerie was karma chained Around Joshua tree Craving any thrill with smell-o-vision citrus But the roots were revealed to be my pale veins A dying star with inexplicit contenders I felt contorted into Sunday school shapes Could I get a rainbow sign? Something to remember you by? With more intricate animal parts Two-by-two doom and gloom Any minute now, she'll deplane from Somewhere where I hate myself So if it's all the same to you I think I'll just get fucked instead Front door, new lock, same key For anyone but me, it wouldn't be this easy Star Baby is your heart full now? Nuclear in a modest house "Pretending to do man things, pussy" When the applause light breaks Who cries at your lines Standing ovation's gone, but I can be replaced Embarrassment chained by optimism White picket fence in the fireplace, oh What's rotten, but chews to the core? All the weddings of people I wrote songs for I'd take back every word just to be invited C-List on a dose of resentment Buccaneered by the lowest of content Fuck like a beast on a scheduled sex night Today's Tom Sawyer, he needs Adderall The perforation ends Call me at midnight I wanna take it back, I never meant it I take years off my life Trying not to think of our time as wasted I wanna take it back, forever take it back (inverted, the outside looking in) I wanna take it back, forever take it back I wanna take it back, forever take it back (inverted, the outside looking in) I wanna take it back, forever take it back When the applause light breaks Who cries at your lines Standing ovation's gone, but I can be replaced Embarrassment chained by optimism White picket fence in the fireplace, oh The perforation ends And you call me at midnight Operator Operetta Operator Operetta
