When love is delicious, it can still be pernicious
But just say what you wish, and we can plan our escape
I’ll act all capricious when the timing’s auspicious
But whenever I ask, your dad will say no
Isn’t that all, that a fool, just like me, could, ask for?
And is it the Fall, that a fool, back in E, den would ask for?
Your father’s fat lawyers, like some modern Tom Sawyers
Will use their red tape, to thwart our escape
Your mother will ban me, and slap me with a fan, the fancy
Kind with the lace, a slap in the face
Isn’t that all, that two fools, just like us, could, ask for?
Is it the Fall, that those fools, back in Eden, had asked for?
I’ll lose some weight, change my name, get a job, buy a castle;
Your father, your mom, would surely, have, to approve
We could reunite just like it was a fable
When I’m thirty and I’m financially stable
We would run into each other on the Metra
And I confess that I am single and I wantcha
In a minute I would ask about your escrow
Minimal interest and we’ll kiss about it let’s go
Head to the shoebox and we’ll marry ‘caure we’re able
And you daddy can’t say shit because it’s legal
Call my brother ‘cause he has to be the best man
Not a problem ‘cause I know that you’re a big fan
Not for money I don’t wanna play the blame game
I just want all your affection and your surname
When we’re sixty and we live at Seven Gables
And still copulating just because we’re able
Call your mother and you tell her not to worry
Only answer she can muster is “I’m sorry”
Love songs are so common these days. But . MTVGhost's Dystopio EP is a great inversion of this idea; it shows the decline of an unhealthy relationship, and the writing is powerful, yet simple. Don Kongo
