A New Tribe

Well I said I said I said
Funny stories don't make me smile anymore
And I'm crying on the couch watching superhero movies
Because they remind me so much of you
Got a tub of icecream and a pair of spoons
Me and my best friend, we're plotting revenge against you
Well I lost to you I lost everything except the feeling
The better to miss you with
And I can win back everything- everything but you
The better to curse my gods with dear
And she said she said she said
How can I make you happy?
I said I didn't know and I said
Take me by the hand, even if we're going down
And I said love me like no one's loved me before
I said adopt me like I'm a stray puppy
I said it's a cold world keep my ghost warm
And I said I said be my best friend for life
I said let's you and me flee to the deep amazon
I said we'll never talk to these shitheads again
And I said, I said let's build a new civilization
And learn to live by the ways of a new tribe, uhuh
I said look me in the eye and swear love ultimately trumps decay
I said tell me there's a place for keepers of the old religion
I said bring me blankets and feed me cookies
'Cause I stay inside and cry for days
I said don't tell me stories about knights and princesses
Tell me about revolution and sacred compassion
I said I always had a nice bed but a dreadful mattress
I said I grew up with a coat but no bathrobe
I said sterilize greedy and extinguish stupid
I said make Earth a love it or leave it place
I said let's cure cancer and end global warming
I said see that depressed woman, make her smile
I said I wanna see the evildoer burn
I said let me adopt a puppy
I said make the most devoted woman in the whole world fall in love with me
We can get married and exchange tattoos instead of wedding rings
And reincarnate together as super-soulmates
I said teach me my worth for I am a spirit not a citizen
Well I said I said I said
I wanna laugh genuinely and often
I said I meditate like a fiend and still love can wound me
I said I sing I sing in the shower and don't find my voice
I said I talk to plants and they fumble for words
I said masks weep and statues tremble at the sight
And I broke down again and I told her
She could make me happy by making you love me,
God damn it!
