Two Lovers X - High Committments

He knows he acts like a dumbass sometimes An overzealous hopeless romantic But this is a little much Even for him Luckily, he's got a partner in crime this time "You're totally gonna marry her, arentcha!?" Yells Boomer, his Boston accent thick punching the Lover in the knee "Totally!" shouts the Lover. "You dick!" punching Boomer back They can barely hear each other as the music system blasts out a classic love song They can barely understand each other anyway 'Cause they are full on... incoherently.... High Like, for-real high as kites in the sky The Lover and his two buddies Boomer and Omar went out for a happy hour Monday night, a dead town Then went back to Boomer's apartment Blazed up Omar is "wearing a toe tag" Passed out on the ground They already drew on his face with a Sharpie His Lover comes back from vacation tomorrow night and he has never been so excited to see anybody like now He told Boomer that which is why the crazy bastard cranked up old love songs Boomer's girlfriend is coming back in two days Boomer is the only friend of the Lover with a long-term girlfriend too And they give each other cover For being whipped by significant others They belt out another verse "Yaaaahhh, Dude!" yells Boom The Lover shouts back "I AM going to totally marry my girl!" Boomer's maniacal laugh as he sparks up another J Grabs his old-style stereo system's volume knob Turns it ALL the way up His eyes red like the devil "YAAHHHHHH, DUDE!" Boomer bellows "MEEE TOOO" In gales of marijuana-induced laughter An urge for a steak and cheese or potato chips or both... ...and a pizza growing inside through the haze The Lover realizes they both mean it "YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH, DUDE!" he hollers back and starts singing along again at the top of his lungs
