Lyrics:
How dare The Premier ignore my invitations?
He'll have to go
So, too, The bunch he luncheons with
It's second on my list of things to do
At The top Is stopping by
Your place of work and acting like
I haven't dreamed of you and I
And marriage in an orange grove
You are The only thing in any room you're ever in
I'm stubborn, selfish and too old.
I sat you down and told you how
The truest love that's ever found
was for oneself
You pulled apart my Theory
With a weary and disinterested sigh
So yes I guess I'm asking you
to back a horse that's good for glue
And nothing else
But find a man that's truer than,
Find a man that needs you more than I
Sit with me a while
And let me listen to you talk about
your dreams and your obsessions
I'll be quiet and confessional
The violets explode inside me
when I meet your eyes
Then I'm spinning and I'm diving
Like a cloud of starli... less

It's lucky to hear The flutes for dancing
coming down The Road. The ground is glowing.
The table set in The yard.
We will drink all this wine tonight
because it's Spring. It is.
It's a growing sea. We're clouds
over The sea,
or flecks of matter
in The ocean when The ocean seems lit from within.
I know I'm drunk when I start this ocean talk.
Would you like to see The moon split
in half with one throw?
