1934

Where are you when I wake up
And the light and the birds
Are jumping on my head?

I want to stay in the middle
Of this holiday a long time,
The encroaching question
Gets called for offsides

I just want to
No that's not right
There's no just I want
You everything
I want everything you

I know all about
The American negative

To say "I want you"
In that language you say
"My back hurts"

And "come live with me
And be my love
And we shall all
The pleasures prove"

Translates to
"Can you believe
What they're charging
For basic cable"

I want everything with you
I am speaking in this
Rash unamerican way
Because I know you can hear it
