Woolly Muffler

All I ever wanted to be was a woolly muffler on your naked neck

Double-wrap me when it's cold

But you pulled a little tight just now

And I'm afraid I feel a choke hold c-c-c-comin' on

Yeah, I'm afraid I feel a choke hold comin' on

All I ever thought we might come to was second dates and flirting eyebrows

Or maybe even psychic friends, and we could share a secret language

And almost definitely make more of it

Than it was, but everyone around us would know

Everyone watchin' would know

This is not a walk with walkin' wounded

Here's the ball, here's the pole, now where's the tether, where's the tether?

Hands can grow together if you're not careful or grateful or whatever

And I never much cared much; too much to begin with

I will not take your possibilities under my care

I will not see you on the bus

You want me to hold your hand, it's a courtship I can't stand

And here I thought you were cryin', uh, because you were happy

But no

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Friends will turn against you

People disappoint you every time

So if you've got greatness in you, would you do us all a favor

And keep it to yourself? Keep it, keep it to yourself

A labored expat fantasy: quit your job and move away with me

Oh, what bliss it would be to pretend we never

Met, I'm elated now, I'm elated now, I'm elated now

I'm elated now, I'm elated now, I'm elated now
