We Fit

from Tonight's Whispering by Gondoliers

lyrics

All up and down the grounds of this tit-wrenching town
We walk like zombies with mommies nipping at our heels
We didn't get laid and we didn't get paid then
We didn't get paid again and we didn't get laid again
We fit so snuggily
Still there is something endearing about these blocks of masonry
Abandoned and standing is if they'll never recede
In symmetry enduring the sounds of our feet hitting the ground
From corner to corner to roundabout to rotary
We fit so snuggily
Between the hats and the hairs, between the stoners and their stares
Watching the lions from the comfort of our favorite chairs
Under awnings, smoking and yawning awaiting the neighbors
Newest spawning to spark the infarction in our hearts that reminds us
Why we built that ark so goddamned wide
So that we'd fit
Into the cracks and the crevices
Into the gapes in the oddest of places
We are happier in the tighter spaces
Where the man won't catch our faces
Up the flagpoles, up the stairs, up the towers
Wherever we drop seed we blossom and flower
Into closets and bathrooms and convenience stores
We spread our love across the kitchen floors
If we were home and left in charge
We would just sleep in and retard
If we don't build a boat we can't ever float
We'll just lay in our baths until our deaths come and find us alone
Awaiting the guiding hands of the EMTs
Gently we will be eased
Into double wide aluminum beds miraculously
We fit so snuggily.
