lyrics

Anticipation is a beautiful thing.
What will the first one be like?
Have you been thinking about it? Describe to me your feelings, if you can.
I understand, it’s early;
You can’t articulate yet.

And:
Oh. If pillows. Could talk.
They would gargle.
The gallons.
Of yearly perspiration. (per spear ration) (purse peer ration)

And:

The super.
imposition.
of color.
upon.
Clean surfaces!
Is absolutely baffling.

[Offer commands as courtesy.
Offer the courtesy we demand.
The courtesy we demand.]

And it’s easy to say when you don’t know the stakes.
Ohhh, among them place ecstatic nights
Confusion
And a co-old breeze.
And it’s easy to say when you don’t know the stakes!
Avoid meaningful contact
Don’t
Look in this direction
Please.

And:

May your first be your worst
and your
Second be your new worst
and may every
Subsequent set a record that no one wants.
This I pray.

And may your first be your worst!
And your second be your new worst!
And may every subsequent set a record that
no one wants:
This I pray.

Ooh.

[Offer commands as courtesy.
Offer the courtesy we demand.
Offer commands as courtesy.
Offer the courtesy we demand.
The courtesy we demand.]

The courtesy we
Demand.
