That That Girl (Therapist Pistol)

I'm an artist cause I know just what I'm not

I'm not out quail hunting down in Camelot

And I'd have the whole sky if I could hate the world

And a colony of these if I lose the girl

Everything sounds better rolling out her mouth

She's so many books - owns so many hooks

Songs about all these fingers running through her hair

But you can't say hurt without her there

Escape it you might- I might be modern

Dare I might pop - pop a chorus - pop a collars

I say she lives in novels and washes songs

I say she covers fire and swallows bombs

I tried to fill a blank book with words about a blank book

All the shelves are shaking to show me how

Got my head down now, now I'm full, can't look

At the table of contents for the symbolist cow

Don't tell her that two to tango means one needs to know how

All I do is collect clocks and calendars now

To find the day when I can't parade those things I cannot do

Then I'll pack up all my things and I'll just leave town

I feel dirty in the parade

That's where she put me.

Set the piano to snow like Saturday.

It sounds like death on a still train by night.
