["How the Body Falls Apart"]

[LADIES]
How the body fall apart
First the groin and then the heart
It's easy and it's smart

Things on which we most depend
Seem to fail us in the end
How like
Like a body
When the body falls
Apart

["Your Lips and Me"]

[HIS WIFE]
The baby is crying on the swingset
The oldest is kicking ass
The parakeet hasn't moved its wings yet
All good things come to pass
I think of sunshine, and roses in bloom
But you're off sitting with another someone
In another room

That's alright, dear
You go on digging your grave, dear
I didn't know that you were lonely
I thought you'd agree
But when I saw your lips
I knew they didn't belong to me
Your mother reports your father's blue, dear
And your father reports he's fine
Your mother withheld her love from you, dear
I try withholding mine

The neighbors love me
They tell me I'm great
But you're off snoozing with another floozie
In another state

That's alright, dear
You go on digging your grave, dear
I didn't know you're so
Attractive
I thought you'd agree
But when I saw your lips
I knew they didn't belong to me

Nice day
Nice life
Precious few people squawk
Nice

Good friends
High life
Isn't it fun to talk?
Nice
The oldest drinks wine, the baby's wailing
And the parakeet still can't fly
Your mother reports your father's failing;
True, he has failed to die

The neighbors love me
They say I'm a clown
It's awful dressing in my blue carnation
When you're out of town

Pay no mind, dear
Just go on digging your grave, dear
I didn't ask to be your mother
Your lips were the key

But when I saw your lips
I knew they didn't belong
No, they didn't belong
I'm sure they didn't belong
To me
