lyrics

If I were committed,
I’d use a pen instead
No eraser head
Once it has bled enough, the writing is so rough
And chicken scratch is a bluff
when critics are too tough

Huff and puff and blow your house down
Huff and puff and blow your house up
Huff and puff and pick your house up
Huff and puff and build your house up

If I were permitted,
I’d kiss your neck instead
of hand or cheek or head
Once we’ve waited enough, our rhythm is so rough
But practice makes perfect love
Your body is a glove

From straw to stick to stone, I own this plot
I draw the trick, the card you thought you sought
From strum to pick on you, the time I bought
I lay the brick, the mortar will not rot
