i hear you, but it's like
hearing you through a rubber band
your intentions bounce
i mean your inflections
did you say
so much a part of me i can know no other way
(accent on the dust everything gathers)
or
i don't know when i'll be coming back
(sotto voce and coy in that flip-of-the-skirt dialect)
i can't say i'm ever bored even when i'm bored
matter of fact the moss the maniacs romeo
and juliet     we all bounce     we're so wild
i hear whalesong     it plays me from the inside
unmodulated     i love you
at moments like this i love you
love you
