Moods of Extreme Desire
In moods of extreme desire
Remember the houseplants still need water
Teeth have got to be flossed
Pay attention or all is lost
Oh miracle of the day to day
Be so kind as to point the way
In moods of extreme desire
When you're a stranger to your mother
Smile a withering smile
Muttering nonsense all the while
I'm sorry that your boy's not here
But it's a pleasure just to have you near
And when your need is so profound
You're moaning and groaning all over town
Boredom follows you around
The mark of a sad-eyed hound
It's not so far to bend down
To keep your nose on the ground
|
In moods of extreme desire
Who can tell you when it's kosher
To smear that extra pat of butter
Till everything tastes good all over
If there's one thing that I can't abide
It's this feeling that I'm satisfied
And when it's only universal love
That you desire from God above
And you can't even get a voice on the phone
Feel the emptiness in your…
In moods of extreme desire
Remember the houseplants still need water
Teeth have got to be flossed
Pay attention or all is lost
Oh miracle of the day to day
Be so kind as to point the way |
