Black Curtains

Cancel the wedding renounce all the vows

I shall suck on those kisses ride on a cow

To the monastery high over there in the clouds

Silent for 25 years

I saw you collide with the history teacher

Watched finger tips brush over coffee and Nietzche

If he is your type who am I to beseech you

To stay here for 25 years

You tell him I cared say I was earthy

Steadfast and honest but not really worthy

See how I feel when you're bleeding for mercy

Maybe in 25 years

Stones in my heart there's a lump in my throat

Spare a cent for the misfit dime for his goat

I'll love you and leave you my favorite coat

Had it for 25 years

Black curtains

Wish me well
