Every hour repeats itself when you don't live alone
Darling you're holding up the court with your coils around my throne
I need a moment to collect my thoughts
Before you throw me into your car and we drive off
I go out early every morning
I'm not out running though that's my story
I need a moment to collect my thoughts
Before you throw me to the dogs
Simple measures of weight
That add up day by day
Give the impression that it's ok
To terrorize for showing signs of sentient life
Every moment you steal
Is the source of a lie I conceal
If that knocks you back on your heels
Well that's another day I'm gonna get back
I hear your phone calls every day saying I don't make time for you
I'm not so busy that I can't find time for another excuse
I'm giving the dog half a bath
I'm taking a walk with the cat
I'm building a shed for the neighbors
Who moved away last year
To another state
In another life
No you've never of it
No it's not a lie
