wayward / awkward - the invisible teal lyrics

Loading...

wayward, awkward people
at a small apartment party:
this is all that i expected
from a sat-rday so long ago
your hair gel and your gl-sses
made a slightly late arrival
and those fits of manic laughter
from your tiny, wiry stature
waved a dagger at my loneliness

pretty soon, there was some coffee
and two sets of seven numbers;
hourly meals of daniel johnston
with a side of “transsiberian.”
and drunken, we all staggered
to your latest fling’s apartment
when you tripped and fell on top of me
and told me that you loved me …
what a strange sort of serenity

he’s a surely p-ssage-worthy definition of affection –
more legitimate than women
more considerate than god could ever try

there were bold, suggestive movements
and outlandish little comments
to invite the jealous world
into our wayward, awkward kingdom
but i left it for another
where i knelt for different reasons
and i knew you wouldn’t follow
so i shunned you as a heathen
our affection as indecent

pretty soon, that apparition
that i blamed for all existence
led me miles and miles away
into the land of debt and quandaries
you sent a private message
just to ask about my journey
and to tell me of another
with a different kind of body
and no history of arguments

she’s a surely p-ssage-worthy definition of affection –
more legitimate than wenches
more considerate than i could ever try

i was civil when i met her …
such a quiet smiling creature
but that smile disappeared
the night i let desire conquer
lost within a joking moment
lips in tandem, quick and drunken …
and thereafter, no more comments —
just some wayward, awkward banter
and no talk of “transsiberian.”
