i was a lover
Before this war
Held up in a luxury suite
Behind a barricaded door
Now that ive cleaned up
Gone legit
I can see clearly round hole
Round whole
Square peg dont fit
Im locked in my bedroom
So send back the clowns
My clone wears a brown shirt
And i seduce him when theres no one around
Mano y mano
On a bed of nails
Bring it on like a storm
Till i knock the wind out of his sails
And we dont make eye contact
When we have run-ins in town
Just a barely polite nod
And nervous stares towards the ground
I once joined a priest class
Plastic
inert
in a slowdance with commerce
Like a lens up a skirt
And we liked to party
And we kept it live
And we had a three volume tome of contemporary slang
To keep a handle on all this jive
Ennui unbridled
Lets talk to kill the time
How many styles did you cycle through before you were mine?
And its been a while since we went wild and thats all fine
But were sleepwalking through this trial
And its really a crime its really a crime its really a crime
its really criminal
Were just busy tempting
Like fates on the nod
Running on empty
Bourbon and god
its been a while since we knew the way
And its been even longer since our plastic priest class
Had a goddamned thing to say
I was a lover before this war
