The moon's looking down with its yellow-toothed grin
I'm trying to think of all the places I've been without you
There're too few
And your thought comes to me just like turpentine
A dizzying scent that sticks in my mind
And strips my soul like cheap paint
Was it something I said
Was it something I did
Was it because I mentioned that I didn't want kids
Or is there some beast in me that only you can see
That made you change your mind
Don't answer that
Nevermind
And all of my ligaments and all of my joints
Ache and they bend towards your point
Sinew dental floss for the teeth of your spare time
And I'm sorry my tiny heart made a tiny apetizer
And I'm sorry your hunger need a much bigger platter
Than what these two hands can hold so small
I went to a psychiatrist, he said as a child
I had a weak spine with an imagination wild
He said I made you up and all your love too
What do you think?
Don't answer that
Nevermind
And I'm not even bitter 'cause bitter would be foolish
If I had to pick a color I guess it'd be jealous
'Cause foolishness fights but jealousy is all talk
And I guess this is the part where I wish you happiness
And may you sprout wings should you be stoned to death
And p.s. I have a yard full
And heaven only knows which leaves me to guess
What boat you were struck with that I seemed to miss
We were together so little how to find the time to change your mind
Don't answer that
Nevermind
And the moon's looking down with its yellow-toothed grin
I'm trying to think of all the places I've been without you
