Show Do Tell: A Reading Series & Art Review

Bouquet


Listen Later

Well, it isn’t much to boast about
Jump the fare
Get choked out
Our fine metropolis
Can be… inelegant
Harder to say
Without being paid
What they take out of me
Monday through Friday
The bureaucratic arm
Can be negligent
But one bat of your eyes
And baby, I’m sold
Out of the lie
The teleprompter told
Anyone can shout from a rooftop
And pretend they are omniscient
You keep me singing
You keep me sane
You spare me from the logic
Of my obsessive brain
Without your presence
Darling, I’d barely be sentient
Chorus:
This world can go down in flames
And I’ll buy an ashy bouquet
The arsonists
Are spraying propane
But we’ll keep waltzing
Anyway, anyway….
Another text, but it’s never from
God
So I keep watching highlights
From 2001
I may be numb
But damn, Jeter could swing it
With my death mask on
I drive my car
Laughing at my fantasies
Being so far gone
If it weren’t so fast, I’d have hit it
Kiss me in the morning
And put my fears to bed
When I cry flower petals
Jam them back in my head
Where visions are
Understood only after being forfeited
When they sell a compromise
As your idealism falls
Like the sun behind the horizon
As the commute home crawls
It’s only one planet
This is how our masters spin it
Chorus.
