lyrics
(This is JeffMango, not David Bowie btw)
I tell you that I love you and you’re shaken
But it’s how I feel and if you love me it’s okay then
I don’t want to ever go home, can I stay in?
If we never tell another soul it’s okay then.
I won’t let you fade away or turn a seamstress
Made that as a promise and I’m always gonna keep it
Afternoon, running to your office feeling heedless
I know it could be weird but you’re the one I want to be with
Hi I’m Twilight, I’m fine like, I got detention
From Harshwhinny and somehow didn’t die of ice-spikes
She cancelled, then I got lessons for a bright side
I made a friend, notice how she’d always try for dry eyes
Now every hand brush my heart murmurs
Sit in class, doing math, doing art for her
Plus Dad’s gone, Mom’s drunk, dare to choose
CHS can send us to a mentor’s convention except we share a room
Ohmigosh, quiet in her car until we get to it
Then spend a day with Ms. Cheerilee her ex-student
Later in the room, something’s on her chest, says
She’ll die alone, childless, loveless, I just lose it -
[mwah] Great gasp, fucking great
Brain-blast huffing paint, age-gap twenty eight
Take-back, nothing same, take back, shoved away,
Except she doesn’t shove away, wait that’s - [mwah]
Then she freaks out, I’m holding her
Tell her it’s alright, it’s okay, I don’t know the words
I just think I love her and I know to keep a secret
Please, it could be weird but you’re the one I want to be with
Lady Grinning Soul, Lady Grinning Soul
Lady Lady Lady Grinning Soul I just love you
Lady Grinning Soul, Lady Grinning Soul
Lady Lady Lady Grinning Soul I just love you
Staying over, feeling healthier or thereabouts
Her name’s Victoria, I wouldn’t wanna wear it out
So more like Ms. Harsh, time alone, it’s sparse
The time outside her office til the day’s end could split hearts
And keeping secrets... not easy as all that
I wish there was a piece of safe ground where we could fall back
They’re breathing down my neck, take a sick day and haul ass
To Harsh’s house, slipped and called her Mom but she called back
