Not caring enough anymore
To want for anything
But a certain pride
All signs pointing
To an enlightened state
Not for nothing
It couldn't be impossible
With catalogs and mailings
Commercials and previews
Everything is an angle
From your perspective
Inside the warm honey punch
Stirring like a magic wand
A favorable temperature
With a candy sheen
Not to be left out
All signs pointing all ways
Left in a cave of discontent
For a moment of recognition
Your only tomb
A shallow bin for sifting
Laying down in parts
Good bad zero one
All methods of accounting
Leading you to this very point
Apex of ape attraction
To ancient lipstick, supple wrists
When you wear boots
We say, "aah"
We we say, "aah"
You are at the dentist
And it's the simple things
The binary placement
The coding and strings
That make this adventure possible
Make it stop
STOP
In the virile end
Throbbing with thrombosis
Protruding with proboscis
Elusive as a honeysuckle
Festive as a fruit bowl
Pesky as a fruit fly
Gravely pulled at like ore
Holstered in testimony
Cradled in allegiance
Home is where the hominy hits pan
Driving down long roads in a tinted van
Some crying baby
Waking the restaurant
Those that suckle spikes
And make this all possible
Our silent sponsors
Dull as the day their egg split
Carry on the code
For your ultimate enjoyment
The Lord's Prayer in zeros and ones
And in the crusted jungle
Stale as soft banana chips
We weep to the leaving
Weep for the longing
Weep at the reunion
Weep for the belonging
