Come Come Now (ending With "mermaids Are Sea Sluts" Segment) (90.3 Wriu) Lyrics - Singles - Sage Francis

(verse) 

Let me rub my back against the notches on your bedpost 

scratch these afterthoughts off my flesh and shed ghosts 

My head's close to your closet door. 

I've got the glass to my ear. My nose is in your 

business I smell something fishy here. 

I hear bones rattling. Poems battling for space and time 

Phones that'll ring when I make judgement calls with pick-up lines 

Sexual hang-ups leave me waiting nude and while alone 

It just gets aggrivating masterbatingto a dial tone. 

I'm the home to run-away trains of thought 

My one track mind is a collision inter-course where victim's cross, 

Bedroom eyes...uncross their legs exposing inner thighs 

I disrobe and show my most convincing disguise. 

I've lived so many lives each death has left my face scarred 

Hid so many lies under my breath that I can't face God 

Dig into my mind deep enough you'll find a graveyard 

I get nervous bodies will resurface every time it rains hard 

"Don't cry, girl." Let me outline your short comings 

While my world is full of them and they're all in the long runnings 

It's all fun and games. It's all done in vane. It's all a ----ing shame 

I ain't the one but I'm the one to complain? 

I'm the one to come home.Compare.Contrast.Come fast 

Make love to the present, fuck the past 

Make love to the present, fuck the past.Nothing lasts 

Don't you dare worry about the morning aftermath 

(yeah!) 

Don't you love how much you paid for your education? (yeah) 

Don't you love your job and spending every day there? (yeah) 

Don't you love your girl? You have such a healthy relationship. (yeah) 

Don't you love having that break-up sex, that make-up sex? (yeah) 

(verse) 

Taking an acid bath, pissing on the shower curtain 

The gal just laughs and starts dissing my towel turban 

I had to ask if she knew how to listen now I'm certain 

Now my task is just to get up in her like I was a surgeon! 

I'm a virgin who makes exceptions at sunset 

My dirty skin gets cleansed by the summer sweat 

"Self, have some respect! I don't need you new and clean 

But I don't want the procedure routine!" 

A screw machine!with a few bolts loose.robot response touch tone 

Hair trigger, happy-go-lucky emotion monger wants a love poem 

Run home.dip into your closet and jump bones 

Your secret admirer's stuck higher up and he's unknown. 

Looking down on you.can you bare the burden?my ears are hurting 

I found a few gears are turning 

With squeaky wheels.they get the grease 'cause its a damn nuisance 

Understand the blueprints for our mechanical movements. 

It never ran smooth since we abused the Earth 

Grabbed a hand full of pubics and removed the turf 

Refused its worth, we lose our shirts.she assumed the worst 

And needed proof of birth? I'm leaving this universe. 

It seems doomed and cursed.see if you come first then come fast 

Come here.Come back.Compare.Contrast 

Complain.Constrain.Constantly ask, 

Complicated questions contain scientific answers in your flask 

Condone.Condemn.Come home.Come friend 

Confuse.Common issues.Condelude.Comprehend 

Carma.Chameleon.Come again? 

Continue to come in you.Come to daddy.Condescend 

Come and bring us (Confidence). Cunnilingus (Compliments) 

Come to thank us went from guilty conscienceness to common sense 

Calm down.Complete.Compound.Come eat 

Our Common ground meat from man-made concrete 

Come to the street.Conquer the weak.Come to terms with coming last 

Make love to the present, fuck the past 

Make love to the present, fuck the past.Nothing lasts 

Don't you dare worry about the morning aftermath. (yeah!) 

Don't you wanna take a shower with me? Clean me up. (yeah) 

Kill yourself...while you're still alive 

(Kill yourself) while you're still alive while you're still alive. (3X) 

See when you put a shell to your ear, it is not the sound of crashing waves 

that you're hearing. It's the amplified current of your own bloodstream 

It was your self-pulse that created that post-human illusion of me. Your 

tireless heart pumping out an ocean of lies and I foolishly tried filling 

impossible shoes resulting in my stumbling as I fell into the trap of making 

a woman my element. Now I just can't get comfortable being out of you...
