lyrics

The courtyard is
Blocked in
Impenetrable Bush
Our tree
Is all grown
Up a boarded-up house

I wanted to tell you
But your crinkly nose was
Like a staticky phone line
Toilet ring
Of sun
On the racquetball court

I was standing in line
"THE GREATEST GIFT IS
LOVE" on a back tattoo
Between
Two moles
In front of me

The permission you grant
No permission
Two dead bats on Miami Street
You can write
A song about anything
Between two napkin roses

They remodeled the branch
Now it's crawling
With exacting standards
Between
Two hangdog managers
Pardon our dust
