The Mad Flight - Pen Ultimatum Lyrics
Saw a simple painting and I thought that it was twoYour teacup’s full of coffee and your cardigan of youBut you’ve got some good Polaroids from when we used to talkLiving in a wooden world of corduroy and chalkI’m mastering your absences beneath the coy applauseOf myriad erasers, myriad erasersAnd now I know I’ll know this thing by heartOnly when I go pull it apartWas hunched over a desk I was philand’ring with a sophomoreWhile you’re off God knows where discreetly framing your philosopherI’ve wrapped my mind around it I’ve explained it to the officerBut there is not a way that I can find provides an alternateWere you poolside reading on finance or in some city smithy loiteringOr at the Sadie Hawkins dance with the thirty something boys you bringWe level out the bookcase we the radiator bleedYou are the wished-for ultimatum of this sequence’s unfurlingThe piss-poor punctuation of a sentence still uncertainWhether it be fact incontrovertible or queryI am the voice that wants to rise and in a hurry, but don’t worryAnd now I know I'll know this thing by heartOnly when I go pull it apartAnd every night I rail down BoulevardNever find out where in hell you areEntangled in sheets so sheerSweat-spangled and insincere, you craveWas hunched over a desk I was philand’ring with a sophomoreWhile you’re off God knows where discreetly *****in’ your philosopherI’ve wrapped my mind around it I’ve explained it to the officerBut there is not a way that I can find provides an alternateYou put the “m” in sober and you put the “t”(ea) in hereAsk me to plan parties so that you can treat your hairAnd by the time they’re over you’re asleep deep in your lairAnd you won’t hear my footfalls on the stair
