i felt a love of such deafening weight
dangling from a ballustrade of shilly shally
overlooking infinity
and this ecstasy of you laying next to me
and in a peculiar way,
you clutched me by the shoulder
said, "boy i barely know you,
but would you marry me?"

we were floating about with our heads in the clouds
and stealing those words from my mouth
you whispered in my ear
exactly what i wanted to hear

composed a note of such jubilant things
and placed it between bed and spring
of a hostile hostel
overran with
shedding towelettes and mexican maids
and with indefinite fate
i clutched you by the shoulder
said, "girl, i barely know you
but would you marry me?"

we were floating about with our heads in the clouds
and stealing those words from my mouth
you whispered in my ear
exactly what i wanted to hear
exactly what i wanted to hear
exactly what i wanted to hear
