Disarray (Happy Disarray) 
 
It happened one evening 
The fourth of July 
My lover went looking  
For sparks in the sky. 
 
He hadn’t been gone 
For a minute or more 
When someone came knocking 
Loud on my front door.  
 
I thought it was he,  
He had found some bright flash 
But instead, it was no one, 
Maybe ding dong and dash. 
 
I closed up my door  
Knowing it was some quack, 
When all of a sudden 
My lover came back. 
 
He had him a bottle 
Of booze and some cheese 
He sat on the step  
Then got down on his knees. 
 
He said he had something 
He wanted to say 
But his mumbling was nothing 
But loud disarray. 
 
I tried to stay calm 
Tried hard not to laugh 
But the look on his face 
It cut me in half. 
 
He had this strange look 
With a glint in his eye 
It turns out he was there 
To tell me it was goodbye.  
 
I couldn’t stand there 
With him all drunk and dumb 
So I went to the curb 
And I put out my thumb. 
 
A car came by quick  
And I jumped in the back 
I didn’t see him nor  
His disgusting ass crack.  
 
I was happy to go  
And so happy to leave 
That the rest of the night 
I wore my heart on my sleeve.
