lyrics

I thought I broke all the strings, but you’re turning me up so loud.
Turn the dial some more, so I can give you a mushroom cloud.
Let’s make a wave. Let’s misbehave. I say we gotta light it up. IJIUTTTM

I feel like we’re got an in. I feel like they’re gonna let us win.
We’ve got our papers in order. We’ve taken our medicine.
And the look on your face, how you smile with your teeth, and to feel what you feel. Oops, I felt you on me. Yeah, there it is. Your reaction.
It could have been much worse. What it was. No words. Just satisfaction.

I used to have a way with words, and now I can’t even spell. IJIUTTTM
I wanna repeat myself, so I should try to refrain. IWRMM/RD
We got a language all our own. A wink, a nod, a villanelle. IJIUTTTM
I’ll come up with something new to get rid of this quatrain. IRIROTTM/RD


And what could I do to show you I know you’ve the higher ground?
Get past your stage fright, I’ve late-night whispers and fingertips.
Do as you please on my knees while the trees make a rustling sound.
Reflecting night skies off pale thighs and whiskers. Lunar eclipse.

You’re skipping over the waves, and climbing me like a rocky face.
Keep pushing, or keep pulling. Just keep on and keep up the pace.

We shared a word, a salty word. I thought it would be enough. IJIUTTTM
You hadn’t heard just how absurd. And now you huff and now I puff. IJIUTTTM.
