Granted

Salt and Vinegar baked chips shared with Pomegranate Cranberry Sparking water
Fills my stomach and causes one heart to burn
Mixed with citric acid to make one allergic tongue peel
Salted enough to make one cringe and forget about pain-ache

Still waiting for the telephone to ring while CITI-BANK credit card ads flash
on my finger-printed glass computer screen
Avoid being the nuisance to call my lover back


Did I tell you O' boy how I want you to be lover
With your upside down face
Not so slandered shape
Your bean-flavored pot-belly and stubby fingers of 10
Just give me a ring and sing me your forgettable songs

Can't think about knockin' me up like you did once
I'll take you as my husband
I'll take you as my baby,
Too bad I won't have you too long,
Because you're gonna leave me before Christmas time,

This has happened before
This has happened a dozen times
Lonely Christmas
Lonely Christmas

Wait, I have friend from Barcelona
Who's going to fly over Seas to visit me and St. louie
Hopefully we'll drink together and talk about our aching hearts
While I was the bad one and he was the good one....

Forever alone
