Track 7

lyrics

I let the shower run for a whole week
And listened to the mirror
point out the specks under my shoddy beard.

I've been sleeping alone for a whole year
while waiting for perfect
in myself and in a person
like the one idealized by the television.
Susan

Susan
Fold around my shape
Find the perfect features and obey.
For there is no place better
for your lonely face, than on my shoulder.
It was fresh with new makeup.
That perfect smile looked up
and sent some astray,
some bumbling after you.
So what lets me linger
around the curves that would send some
cowering in the corner,
chattering,
and curling hair around their fingers?

I linger even though
these past three days
I forgot to shower.
Children cower at my ropy mop,
but here I am walking beside you
I'm just hoping to pick up
some of your perfume.
I'm sorry you don't like to be used.
But I just need someone to feel.
I need someone to embrace.
Someone to nibble on.
I'll undo your ribcage
if that's what it takes
to have a heart.
(I'm sorry I kissed you
just to forget
how it feels to be lonely.
I haven't felt anything yet.
I'm a pathetic, pathetic,
pathetic human being.
She said just swallow this.
It's about time you tasted your own medicine
amphetamine.)
Susan

My name's not practice for the tongue
She said you can call it one more time
But I'll only ever be on your mind
Fifty miles on the run
