lyrics

(Ah, spring
When birds are on the wing
When flowers bloom
When a young man's fancy lightly turns to... thought
What's the matter?
What you need is to put down that notebook
and take in some of the beauties of nature
See what I mean? [Here she is, she is single, and fun-loving]
But what a minute young lady [She has no children]
How did you get in to this picture?
You see,
We're trying to prove a point about nature and beauty [She's athletic]
Look at your hair [...to a degree]
Look at that blouse [She travels]
And the way that skirt hangs
And those socks [And, she spends money]
Sorry, there must have been a mistake
You don't seem to be exactly the type to make this guy behave like a human being)

The intense cacophony of daily life
Consumed by an intrusive thought
Two or three breaths
Beware the year of pornography
Craving a feeling you didn't even know was there
Tasting forbidden flesh
It manifests with a physical ache
A fake orchid by the window
Plastic fangs that bite right through
"You stupid bitch"
Make it stop
Make it stop!

To practice what you preach
Might be the hardest lesson you ever learn
(I am so afraid of those who do not fear consequence
Or the fearful that indulge regardless)
He's everything you wanna be
Conquer something violently
If only she was real

It used to be fun
I feel so bad
I feel so bad for what I did to her
She didn't deserve it
But I did it anyway
Because I wanted to
God, if only I didn't want to

And through all the pain
She looks so beautiful
I don't want to look away
I am yours
I am always yours
Just take me
An intense pang of loneliness
Might just convince me to donate
Her body, what a wonderful cause

To engage in meaningless debauchery?
Oh, I just might revel in it
