Them's the breaks
Watch me crash land
On fields of idle miles
Hard worked by barren hands
Droughts of mouth bring doubts to love
I'm whistling drinking songs
And thinking, slowly drinking his gin
All the live long
You're perfect for taking me to heart
But I spy shades of disingenuous
A fortnight's fit for sleep on my eyes
Is there something stirring in the silence
That I might weaponize?
No fun, I've touched one once
I want to touch two of them twice
You turned your weakest shoulder to me
And ask, "Will I suffice?"
You're perfect for leading me on
To the stage Tommy Cooper died on
You're perfect for taking me to heart
You're perfect for playing your part
You're precious for putting me on
But I spy shades of disingenuous
