I loved a girl once
|
beyond compare
|
She saw inside me
|
and gave me air
|
She was assisting
|
my surgery
|
My heart was opened
|
as she put a mask on me
|
I'm breathing
|
but it's become a chore
|
"Now that you've seen the doctor
|
don't call me anymore"
|
|
I was impatient
|
I was not in full arrest
|
and the symptoms were induced by something
|
I could not digest
|
She'd said a mouthful
|
I'd swallowed whole
|
My heart starts beating
|
a capriole,
|
a murmur,
|
too different to ignore
|
"Now that you've seen the doctor
|
don't call me anymore"
|
|
I underwent
|
and it smelled
|
of a wild goose chase
|
Then I saw your face
|
upside down
|
|
He comes in creeping
|
He is a creep
|
a samurai
|
It's not fair peeking
|
(that is a lie)
|
Mermaid on Pico
|
lifts her fin,
|
demands a towel
|
And thinking of you
|
is not avowal
|
And over
|
and over it I pour
|
"Now that you've seen the doctor
|
don't call me anymore"
|
|
I'm breathing
|
but it's become a chore
|
Now that I've seen the doctor
|
You're just a fucking bore
|
like Dorothy Lamour
|
dolled up in Singapore
|
to meet the Commodores
|
Don't call me anymore
|
