Throwing Off Glass

Why is the world so creepy? she asked
After a car full of haircuts drove past
A backseat full of the boys

I told her that it isn't
That...that it's exquisite
But like love it has it's barbarous threats

Still in spite of the cads
And the stoop-shouldered teens
I know I'm losing you
I know what that means, yeah

I told her that it isn't
That it's real exquisite
But like love, it can have it's stubbed-toe effects

And just like after she heard
The word iridescent
And everything was iridescent for awhile

It wasn't long
Before she exhalted out of nowhere
Isn't this exquisite?
No, isn't

Once you've said mmm in unison
And oh in double surprise
And shared relief with a mutual phew
And a look in each other's eyes

I tell her that is isn't
Insisted that it isn't
Because like love it has too-cunning effects

I told her that it isn't
That it's just exquisite
Because like love it has it's barborous threats
Yeah

Why is the world so creepy? she asked
After a car full of haircuts drove past
A backseat full of the boys
Breaking glass
Throwing off glass
