Mr. Natural

I think I thought I saw you try And still i reached around And stuck my hands the pockets of my pants And fished around for a mint If it’s too late it’s too bad If the sun comes up before I say this I’ll just have to say it again Ladle in hand You cannot pour from an empty vessel You can’t really own the land There there Truth and time lit me up like flare Patience patience Promises promises Tsk tsk Kiss kiss Bend back Like this Two spines One mine Two flames One light All in Fade out Head down Eyes up Goodbye From across the room Fade into the curtain Pepper black Sun damaged view You died Before i had the chance To pull you out and tear you up And crush you in my hands I can see your face And feel the pulse in your veins All the blood on your lips Wild raspberry stain For the sake of propriety I will stop and feign A tired breath and exhale I’ve been around In your thoughts and dreams I’ve been behind the swinging doors With the painted bee Come and see Taste the neck And feel the sting
