• I knew this one girl
    Drowned in her own curls
    Candy colored swirls
    That never seemed to end

    I could not comprehend
    Half what she said to me
    So casually
    All our tender ears would bend

    Tales of ritual self-torture
    She's making you abort your
    Most carefully laid plans
    To make a final stand
    Rest the world to hand
    Scoreless victory for serendipity

    You were right
    There was never reason to worry
    Money made your eyesight all blurry
    Making lists of pacifists
    Recalcitrant poses
    Can't you see how dangerous
    The one you chose is
    Which brings us back to
    Might makes right
    So we learn from Wars of the Roses
    Pain was only fear kneading your toeses

    Making haste to spite your face to cut off your noses
    Convince yourself and others that these
    Fish smell like roses

    Can't you see how dangerous
    When you're too content to make a fuss
    Can't you see how dangerous

    Squint your eyes and see
    Elephants, sycophants, elephants

    Squint your ears and hear red-faced rants
    Pleated pants
    Sycophants
    That's what you are

    Can't you see how dangerous
    When you're too content to make a fuss
