I think I laughed harder than I
Ever thought could be sincere
When I found she didn't know
That you had a lab of your own
In the basement behind dark silver doors
Attached by cords
To the computer upstairs
To control key pairs
The symptoms of being awake
Leave no teeth buried
In the cave in my face
So the lion won't tear you apart
I'll pay you enough
To buy a new heart
In a new place
When your father was shot right in front
Of your best friend's house
I think I cried when you
Dropped me off at the telephone lines
I think I finally forgot about 1999
And the good luck dark red wine
Poured in the shower drain
And wasting such a great looking stain
And if we change our minds at just the right moments
We can reenact what evolution set down in our lowest ribs
The only difference lies in missing bone
