The South

by abcede   Oct 31, 2007


Our complex emotion is evident
not one-sided, false, or fake
we don't care if you believe us or not
it's YOUR decision to make

Come ride in the old, dirty Ford that we have
you may claim it a wreck; a mess
but think twice, you fool, it's constant and true
and strong nontheless

our sundress is flowing - so beautiful
not tight and hard to breathe
we're chill and calm and laid back, now
are you starting to finally see?

Come try to pull our bond apart
we're cotton, please don't mess
you'll only stress and wear yourself out
it's quite an impossible test.

You'll sleep with us - so quiet - at peace
this comfort is quite hard to find
the safety in this blanket we are
is, simply, one of a kind

we're the eye of a twister, so calm in the face
of chaos flying around
we dont' get all up tight with the worries of now
we sit eerily calm with no sound.

Ah, don't test our patience, you need to be warned
of Venus is our hearts domain
we're the fly trap, the beast, the curious sight
who could rightfully cause you much pain

oh, the sensation, the smell it draws us in
from everywhere - it's a drug.
you know it, you love it, so just come on down
and grab a nice, warm coffee mug!

The click of the pop tab is us yet again
you know there's a great taste to come
and even though no nutrition is found
it's addiction and yerning for some

cuz we are the mayberry - it's true do you hear?
we're just lazy, fun - movin' slow
we just wanna relax and enjoy the day
"on a porch drinkin ice cold cherry...coke"
