Trouble On the Patio

Is it a problem if we'd arrange, in some way that's un-contrived

Where I'm spending the night?

Sorry I left you out on the ledge but suddenly my past arrived

Of course she needed a light

But there's a calmness now

She leaned in to kiss me within your range

I told her to mind her own (I knew she wanted to feel again)

But as you and I walk over the bridge

Under the moon that is filled to the brim

I think maybe it's safe to say

I'm a boy, are you a girl

Who's only counting the seconds 'til

Swollen lips meed in your bed?

You are the needle, I'm the thread

In your apartment, all that we say is painfully rational

But it's there in your eyes

That if we're just a group of atoms that clutch

Fast to a rock that is tethered and hucked

Around some unimprotant sun

Then why do I shake from the subtlest touch?

And quivering hands make me gesture and flush

Oh let's try not to think so much

It's a soft early light

Spilling into the room

Oh, the perilous fight

Our arrangement is doomed

Oh my penniless heart

Oh my penniless heart
