so calculated, the words that come. ah! but the glorious shine of a polished tongue. have you been up practicing all night long? your mouth forms chords and arpeggiates. it sounds so sweet but then nauseates. have you been up sweating this all night long? at the crack of dawn your up again to show the world just where you stand
you dressed in your good suit today. polished your shoes for such an occasion... pressed your shirt and slicked your hair straightened that tie now get out there!get out there!
the tile is burning through your rubber soles the sweat is beading and forming tiny pools youve been pacing and youre scaring the shit out of your kids theres white building up in the corners of your mouth the neighbor kids are laughing and pointing at your house your wifes ashamed. she's pulling all the blinds. you'd think you'd get the picture after time after time after time. your roof is slowly growing weak sagging stretching like your speech...
oh my science!
hes on the roof again! citing scripture and throwing up his hands
they said "i dont think hes coming down"
"does he think hes conducting some great orchestra? cause hes waving his hands and i cant help singing:
oh my science! hes on the roof again!citing scripture and throwing up his hands.dear science hes on the roof again!citing scripture and throwing up his hands."
hes not missing a beat hitting every note not discouraged by their laughter hes not missing a beat hitting every note not discouraged by sharp fingers you dressed in your good suit today polished your shoes oh what a waste pressed your shirt and slicked your hair and all you got were empty stares...
