What Do You Get If You Combine a Lunatic With a Liar
WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU CROSS A LUNATIC WITH A LIAR
An un-truth trapped me, I loved a liar
But I refuse any more sleepless nights
She held my feet to the fire
After all the arguments, disputes and fights
There was no morning coffee, only screaming
Yelling that yellowed the white paint on the ceiling
The only happiness was when I was dreaming
And wasn’t birthed to be with someone without feeling
She never touched me when I needed tenderness and care
Yet when she needed an embrace she called me forth
She knew how to take but not give and that’s not fair
But we were as separated as south is to north
I tried to tell you life with me wouldn’t be a picnic
But there would be a mound of ants
I tried to tell you what it would like living with a lunatic
She was gorgeous but beauty only the grievous grants
Tonight I don’t care who’s she’s with or where she is
She could be in heaven’s heart or with the the man of her dreams
If I saw her and then met her lover of late I’d say she’s all his
Because I’m living in tranquility with no more early morning screaming
