lyrics

down the road livd the luvly choralee
in a home as bad as she was good to see.
round we rode with the apples and the bees
n now and then we’d kiss n i was free.
n tho i sense i nue that she was doomed
to win the hell whence she was being groomed
all i thot was wut’s in it for me?

maribel wuz as maimed as she wuz mean
but her mouth wuz such a pretty, fierce trapeze.
out we’d go in her licorice limousine
wrong rompin as a mattress on the sea.
n tho her eyes were drying with the grime
that she wuz sure wd get her hi this time
all i thot wuz wut’s in it for me?

say "i do," my puzzling genevieve,
n she did, n we wur wed like kennedys.
n midst the kids n the games of make me leave,
we’d often lie in bed n feel at peace.
n tho she wuz such a gorgeous, crazy girl,
she wuz just one in a gorgeous, crazy world,
n all i thot wuz wut’s in it for me?

n then, i dunno wut happened.
maybe i had a syntagmatic hormone intervention.
maybe i pulled a muscle n found the pass/fail gene.
maybe i met someone bigger than me.
maybe the damage i’d done became the patch i grazed.
maybe i drank enuf to save a mockingbird.
maybe i wuz rite all along n it wuz time to change.
cuz now i see y the words “my love” refer
to both the need n wut the need is for
n all i ask is wut’s for it in me?

n if u don’t believe me, just try it once,
n u’ll see how getting off ain’t all that
if u land on wut u were trying to get off.
like u’ve never felt anything so verdurous
as feeling like someone else who’s feelin verdurous.
cuz sure as u can’t chop down a tree
without it falling on u first,
the pleasure around is the pleasure within.
i’ll say it again so you can give one to a friend:
the pleasure around is the pleasure within.
it’s all good, it’s just not all that good at it.
