Mattering Ram

Tell me, do you think I'm pretty?
Could you think it louder?
Oh, I'd like to hear it
Guess I think it matters
Tell me one good story
Pay me by the hour
I got more than one though
Open up with Nemo

He and Esperanza
Fuckin' in the shower
Everybody heard 'em
I don't think it matters
Johnny took a photo
On his old Suzuki
Wasn't wearing clothes though
Still, he gave it to me

Hang it in the front room
Let it bring you laughter
People gonna talk soon
They don't really matter
Growing up I had dreams
Women, legs akimbo
Hell was there to tell me
All that shit was sinful

Loving in the backseat
Keep on smiling after
Unwed denim preheat
All of it still matters
I been on 14s
Even lost my mind once
Carl had to save me
Carl he's a good one

Do you mean the uncle
Or the sturdy hiker?
Hard of hearing father
Either way, it matters
When I held depression
Dennis came and held me
The Australian open
Medicine's a mystery

Was it a placebo?
Was it a distractor?
Tell me how the wind blows
Tell me if it matters
Jeff and I were patient
Waiting on McCartney
We weren't gonna miss him
Showed up hours early

Look at how we're crying
Hear that nervous chatter
He ain't sang a note yet
That don't even matter
Can I always have you?
Doctor and companion
You can always have me
Shot out of a cannon

I got seven league boots
I can get there faster
But if I still miss you
Does it even matter?
Did y'all pull the goalie?
I hate when they say that
It ain't always easy
It ain't ever old hat

I don't know the future
Shout it from the rafters
You don't know it either
I don't think it matters
We ain't lacking nothing
Y'all ain't lacking either
Used to have that backwards
Let us learn what matters

I got two more questions
Can I use your ashtray?
How then shall we function
Any given Wednesday?
You could paint with charcoal
Every Tuesday's fatter
If you ain't got love though
Does it even matter?
