R..E...S...P.....

where did i go today

i must have misplaced me

because now you can pour me

all the energy is out of this mercury

and now my suit is looking a little cheap

all rumpled when it used to be neat

i must have fallen in love with a hundred girls

on the drive in this morning

if only for a moment

i liked the way that you sweat

objects of art in motion

let me recognize your mind

i need to complete the picture

complete the circle of the art

no one can begrudge me a fantasy

when most of my time is not my own

the fountains i pass look so sweet

i play this game of borrowing time

only to be trapped in a purple elevator with

a man with a mean streak and his suck-up sidekick

how do you prefer to go by razor or

would you prefer a more personal touch

i'm not asking for much in this plunge to reality

Aretha asked for it a long time before me

i see the look and your eye and

i know the personal grenades are coming

makes me want to jump from the fifth floor

stick the landing behind the wheel

punch the gas and escape a new respect
