Teach me a lesson
then look slightly away.
Call me mildly toxic
and then ask if I'm okay.
I'll say still in spite of this,
your affection could be sweet
but would you even tell me if
I had spinach in my teeth?
And oh I'd like to be,
oh I'd like to be
an unconscious cantation
of the Jesus prayer,
a constant recitation;
beautifully unaware.
You're on the ball
of my neck revolving,
quick with the riddle
you've been solving.
So stay my legs
or watch them shake
just be mindful of
the smiles you fake,
the smiles you fake.
And oh I'd like to be,
oh I 'd like to be
catching startled babies
off of ledges as they fall,
with you there right beside me
cheering me on, cheering me on.
Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo!
