lyrics

Oh language my fickle friend
It’s so good to find the words again
To tell of triumphs and woes
And the glint of the sun on a garden hoe

I briefly thought that I lost the power
To swim in your colors sweet and sour
To play as a child bounces a ball
Or jumps on the bed or runs down the hall. . .

Oh language my foggy friend
You clog up my mind until the end
But the few times you let me have my own space
The tracks on your arms make a pretty face. . .

Oh language my darling dare
The traps that you set are never fair
You make me think I get to the core
But I’m just your john you fucking whore. . .

I thought our love meant so much more?
