untouchable face

 
 think i'm going for a walk now
 i feel a little unsteady
 i don't want nobody to follow me
 'cept maybe you
 
 i could make you happy, you know
 if you weren't already
 i could do a lot of things
 and i do
 
 tell you the truth i prefer the worst of you
 too bad you had to have a better half
 she's not really my type 
 but i think you two are forever
 and i hate to say it but you're perfect together
 
 so fuck you
 and your untouchable face
 fuck you
 for existing in the first place
 and who am i 
 that i should be vying for your touch
 who am i 
 bet you can't even tell me that much
 
 2:30 in the morning 
 and my gas tank will be empty soon
 neon sign on the horizon 
 rubbing elbows with the moon
 safe haven of the sleepless
 where the deep fryer's always on
 radio is counting down the top 20 country songs
 
 out on the porch the fly strip is
 waving like a flag in the wind
 you know i really don't look forward
 to seeing you again soon.
 
 you look like a photograph of yourself
 taken from far far away 
 i won't know what to do
 i won't know what to say
 
 so fuck you...
 
 i see you and i'm so perplexed
 what was i thinking
 what will i think of next
 where can i hide
 in the back room there's a lamp
 that hangs over the pool table
 and when the fan is on it swings
 gently side to side
 there's a changing constellation
 of balls as we are playing
 i see orion and say nothing 
 the only thing i can think of saying 
 
 is fuck you...

eccu....
