Cracked Up To Be

After a little organic exercise, you roll over, play dead
The ceiling stares at me and I dream of spiders
Rock me, caress me
My emotions are silly
Putty in your hands

And I feel like a foolish government
Borrowing so much I can’t pay back
Borrowing emotions
And leaving nothing

God has a jab-in-the-eye sense of humour
Disenchanted, love-maid
You’re mentally celibate and I dream of virgins
Touch you, detest you
You’re sensually silly
Putty in my hands

And I feel like an old jigsaw puzzle
The picture becomes more incomplete
Stealing the pieces
And leaving IOUs

Locked like chainmail in an animal embrace
With a hiss of iron you scratch my face
Locked together for hours on end
Communicate with feelings, my friend
Don’t you know it’s not what it’s cracked up to be?

Sex is carefully reduced to a dirty word
Dispassion destroys it
Portions of the mind close and I dream of true love
Push me, ridicule me
My emotions are so silly
Putty in your hands
