Tanner says he'll marry Alana
In every which way
They're like mittens
Stitched from the same damn thread
Not knowing where the start or end is
They live in Chicago
Or just outside
Tanner says Lisle is a shit hole
But his dad still wishes he was from there
Alana is both Cuban and Italian
Which is an excellent combination
If you like to eat
And make love
And maybe fight now and again
They say all those things can be good for you
Happiness is not like coal
Where you refine it
Extract what you need
And expel the byproducts
It's more like a train
That gets you from one place to another
Without much thought or reason
Unless you try to construct or deconstruct it
In which case it's an entirely different thing
