A Virgin Graveyard

He stole a blanket from United

And cut two holes out

He wore it round the kitchen table

Too cheap to turn the heat up

I brought some macaroons from Paris

Of bitter almond

I brought him an Italian nougat which he insulted

My love is like a phantom limb

Upon a dancing bear

The pleasure that it causes him is matched by the despair

How can he bound so freely on

Something that isn't there

And with the stars he dances for

Completely unaware

An episode of Futurama - It was a rerun

They turned the moon into a playland

An ugly void outside

He used to call the moon Selena

And when he was traveling

He'd look up at it and say hello

To his mother

My love is like a distant star

That's burning in the sky

She burns so bright and white

She's blinded to the passersby

The meteors, the Milky Way

Its crystal sugar kiss

She doesn't even know her gift

Of photosynthesis

We ate our cucumbers and curry

Parked in a virgin graveyard

The moon shone down on our New England

And on the waiting border guards

I've chased the pigeons from the chimney

Thrown out the Christmas lights

But I've still got that egg he gave me

Of Lapis Lazuli

My love is like a phantom limb Upon a dancing bear

The pleasure that it causes him

Is matched by the despair

How can he bound so freely on

Something that isn't there

And with the stars he dances for

Completely unaware

And with the stars he dances for

Completely unaware
