Great Dane

(Difficulty, however, was always a challenge to William)

(And he wanted Joan back, he liked Joan)

(She was quiet and shy)

(And amenable and dependable)

(And he was a god in her mind)

There I lay

Beside the great dane

A stray in the south

Obsessed by your mouth

And you've been away for the fall

I've barely seen you at all

Impressions over you

Blue like Bikini Atoll

Shallow pain, but it's not deep down

Cigarettes while you're asleep now

I've taken less care, I feel weak now

You said, you was flying to Milan in about a week now

I don't mind to reignite the fire besides

From that weed we light

And if you try to ask me why

The fact that I've lied and you're tired of that

Well, I don't blame, I only claim to be

In a state that closure was the way

She exposed my name

And now I'm supposed to tell you all, them time is in them place, but

I'm still developing

Enveloped in the elephant of the room I'm already in

I don't give a, it's irrelevant

Been away for the fall

Barely seen you at all

You've come and seen me at school

And you'll realize that I'm no fool

Shallow pain, but it's not deep down

Cigarettes while you're asleep now

Man, I've taken less care, I feel weak now

You said, you was flying to, uh, in about a, ah, yo

But I don't mind to reignite the fire besides

From that weed we light

And if you try to ask me why

The fact that I've lied and you're tired of that

I don't blame, I'm only claiming a state

That closure was the way

She exposed my name and shame now

Time is in them place, but

I'm still developing

Enveloped in the elephant of the room I'm already in

I don't give a fuck, it's irrelevant

Been away for the fall

Barely seen you at all

You've come and seen me at school

And you'll realize that I'm no

Different girls with the same issues

Chains, pearls and tissues

Would you change if I claimed I miss you?

Words, I love you, is misused

I struggle in this view

Just wanna cuddle and kiss you

Now I'm double muddled and pissed too

New dawn, new day

Reflection of our time, for Pete's sake

Generations of mobiles phones

Even love these girls who moans are most unknown

Implants at fourteen

She was looking fresh apart from here weave

I prefer natural on girls

Even when I think about you now, I have to gag and hurl

But no physically

Think about you with another man, it sickens me

Though I'm sure that you haven't

Even if you have, I'm sure that I have him

I said, I'm sure that I'll smack him at the end of a party

Or if things start happening

Maybe your brain had mutated

Even though they're in the park, she been sedated, but

But I don't mind to reignite the fire besides

From that weed we lighted

If you try to ask me why

That I've lied and your tired of that

I don't blame, I've only claimed to be

In a state that closure was the way

She exposed my name and shame

And now I'm supposed to tell you all, them time is in them place, but

I'm still developing

Enveloped in the elephant of the room I'm already in

I don't give a, it's irrelevant

(Ms. Evesham shuttered and she made her way to the back row)

(The curtains dividing the platform from the hall were drawn)

(For no other reason than that Mr. Westinbury)

(Enjoyed drawing them back)

(The clock struck 8 and Mr. Westinbury)

(With his own inimitable air of providing the most important item)

(Of the evening's entertainment, drew them back)

(Ms. Evesham gave a gasp of horror)

(For there, on the platform)

(Was the wooden table, the alter, she supposed)

(And on it was Hector)

(Her Hector, whom she left asleep by the fire)

(Now spirited here by some infernal means)

(And standing motionless, not moving a muscle or twitching a whisker)

(Hypnotized)

(And behind the alter was Ms. Parent)

(Looking more witch-like than ever)

(Hatless, he white hair falling about her face)

(Wearing a long, black coat and leaning on a stick)

(Then came the culmination of the horror)

(For the witch hopped to the edge of the platform)

(Looked down into the well of the hall)

(Fixed her gimlet eye on Ms. Evesham)

(And said in a voice that froze the blood in Ms. Evesham's veins)

And if you'd tried to ask me why

That I've lied and you're tired of that

I don't blame, I've only claimed to be

In a state that closure was the way

She exposed my name
