College Algebra
by Johnny CrimsonForming the way
a lake forms in a cubicle
Staring up from beneath the floor
and seeing yourself in the drop ceiling above
The way it just ruins everything
Speed me up I've got
one nice precise hit
with my big bat before
they get away
It aught to be one hell fuck of a woozy
before they find out your age and mine
I'd rather meet you at a Mets bar
My favorite picture of you
hasn't been taken yet
And I'm bottling her DNA
in case they make cloning possible
(for dummies)
Rather meet her in a park with pedestrians
Rather jaywalk this side of town till my gut
disappears and reappears transformed onto a billboard
in an ad for amputees
In which I (looking stunning)
hold a headless mans head
and push his wheelchair off a cliff
screaming "Red white lie" down the off ramp
Go troops
I'd like to meet you in a frozen restaurant
Dead is the air except for the fog
Dead is the waitress still holding a tray
Licking my finger I wiped off her name tag
Luanne
Oh it just screamed southern
You had the ice with a side of ice
and I had the stuffed ice
we ate well that night
We have really built a strong
foundation here
This relationship house
has certainly got some sturdy beginnings
It's a shame theres no ceiling and shit keeps falling on us
The only thing I'll ever put over your head is a dick

You had the ice with a side of ice
and I had the stuffed ice
we ate well that night
with the straws up our noses
man, Sean. I don't know how to comment. You definitely got to go first if we try a collab. |
