It does make me smile to dance with old women,
and see them become
The sweet things that they have been
My dog used to let me try to ride her around
And we never got far, but she endured it somehow
Everyone says they’ll never get married,
like they don’t think being alone is that scary
I know I’ve got to seem just a reckless assaholic
and it does make me smile
I meant what I said, and I just don’t believe
There’s anything perfect just itching to wait up for me
I’d been willing to sacrifice whatever it takes
But it don’t work like that,
and these good things don’t have to wait
We do rage for joy, and there’s nothing I can’t do
And my girl was faithful one thousand percent
And I used to be shy when I walked through the city
But everyone’s just like me, curious like honeybees are
I said what I meant, and I’m faithful as well
To straight liquor and mysterious eyelashes
and things I won’t tell
And it does make me smile to think of secret passages
But there’s something about living where I actually live
And I’m shit out of luck, like that old elephant
If I can’t be alright with being blessed with a bird with a trunk
And it does make me smile, and it does make me laugh
That old bird was a bitch,
but you know, some things are pretty great
