Blankets for Two

by Leigh Marble

in case you want to
i've laid out some blankets for two
some special accomodations
and some extra breakfast food
in case you want to
i'm prepared to look you in the eye
cuz come what may, i can't wait
for this any longer

so you should check out our common ground
it ain't too hugely grand
but it's big enough for the two of us
to roll around

we'll call it spring cleaning, when we wash away
the dirty snow of winter with the green green rays

there's history in your eyes
with a trajectory way out beyond the yonder
and i've followed you down the sightlines
now i'll run there with you
say that you're not scared
cuz you've seen more than the average bear
and to the monkeys that see no evil, hear no evil
you say do it in the dark with the stereo blasting

we'll call it spring cleaning, when we wash away
the dirty snow of winter with the green green rays

in case you want to,
i've laid out some blankets for two
some special accomodations
and some extra breakfast food
so if you're tired of going home alone
to plastic chairs and pale blue lights
well my place is pretty quiet on a friday night
in case you want to

in case you want to, we can wash away
the dirty snow of winter with the green green rays

Daisy and Prudence

by Erin McKeown

hey fashion doll
take off the wall for me and only me
you all pretty, pretty
with ribbons of indecision
and your lips well-disguised

hey fasion doll
wake-up wake-up
no one will see
this a moment we'll mark time by
say we did that when
say we did that why
and the clothes do not make the man

desire is dressing up daisy
prudence is putting on airs
and in september was indulgence and fall

what makes us beautiful?
daisy is as prudence does
the fabric of seduction reveals
beauty just because, beauty just because
you're straddling me

prudence takes off her
daisy she fumbles and laughs
and a meeting of the two is merely

desire is dressing up daisy
prudence is putting on airs
and somewhere in the middle you fall
you fall, you fall
but hey fashion doll
well you're straddling me
