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
