thin and unshaved, drunk and mysteriousooh, I must say lifestyle is curiouswith a little touch of the sniffles and filthy socksgnawed, crumbled fingernails never doing tomahawk chopsa flaky head dandruff is distinguishedlacquer is red vain is the varnishwhat is at the root of this, she'll say, whatcha gotwhat participle do you possessshe'll say, which I have notone blustery day we rode out to the meadowlandswe saw and were amazed then hauled it back into town again
Mississippi is a mess sometimes and not only when it rainshow come you went back to that malaria island'cause our friendship is strainedthose were the days when you were so cosmopolitanthese are the days, my letters they're so maudlin
I wrote you an eloquent postcard onceabout this most exquisite onion soupbut of course I never mailed though'cause it was your turn in the loopthose were the days when you were so cosmopolitanthese are the days, my letters they're increasingly maudlin
