Pretty Pleasures

October 19, 2023 

There's nothing that I would not do
To show the world how I love you
I'll build a castle on the moon
We'll only eat with golden spoons

(I really like my happy life
You want a trophy not a wife)

I'll slay a dragon with a stick
I'll feed the world and cure the sick
I'll put the sun inside a jar
I'll carve your name upon a star

(You think you're such a gallant guy
Have you read the Nymph's Reply?)

I'll dig for diamonds with my hands
I'll walk across the desert sands
I'll climb a mountain for your heart
I'll buy the greatest works of art

(I'm really just a simple girl
I like sunsets more than pearls)

I'll search the skies and tame the sea
To demonstrate sincerity
I beg and beg on bended knee
But you never hear my plea

(Won't you listen? Can't you see?
You never did a thing for me)

Sorry: A Duet of Heartache

June 28, 2012

Daddy said my tender heart
Leads me to pursue
Birds with broken wings
And stray dogs just like you

I’m sorry bout the mixup
I’m sorry I’m a fool
Didn’t mean to spend your birthday
Takin’ shots and shootin’ pool

I’m sorry that you took my car
And wrapped it round a tree
I’m sorry that I hocked my house
And gave my guarantee

I’m sorry I jumped bail
I’m sorry that I ran
I’m sorry that the PeeDee
Found me in my van

Always been I susceptible
To rascals just like you
All it ever got me was
A pocket full of blues

I’m a live tornado
Spewin’ mess and misery
Till I beat the bottle
It’s all I’m gonna be
