My Parents Went To Cancún

My Parents Went To Cancún

you got a shiny new bike
all I ever got was love

doing headstands on a mountainside
all I ever got was love

in a world of shiny things 
you’ve gone insane 

maybe I can help you with this 
in my own way 

you want everything 
all I ever got was love 

past the point of embarrassing 
when jungles are burning up

and you’re spinning in your drink
smoking the latest thing 

making enemies with people 
just like yourself 

dancing in your head
your cat’s in the fridge 

quoting a song by prince
about the pretty mess   

you got a hot new job 
all I got was love 

coming home to the floor 
maybe love’s enough

Life of the ****

  Life of the ****   I love your body   I made a map that I study   there’s just one thing   that distracts me from loving   ideas haunt me   they take me out for shopping   through imagination   stretching endlessly   tell me what you’re building   behind those eyes   come live with me   in the life of the mind   we go from the streets   to penthouse high   but there’s something   more precious by design   enough parties   enough clothes   can’t spend hours   talking about sports   give me a novel or a film obscure my mind’s got enough   junk to last months
