Painstakeningly

Ding-dong Is anyone in the house May I come in or were you just on your way out How's life Is it fair? I meant beautiful If you're content, don't talk with your mouth full Don't run with the scissors and don't do drugs Don't talk to strangers, don't leave the job half done Don't let me in because if you do I'll leave your house a big mess by the time I'm through Who's there Before I open this door Back up I want to see a little bit more Before I decide if I should let you in I'm scared, don't know where I'm supposed to begin To run Cue the dramatic close-up Make up, make sure he sweats just enough I get anxious and I keep it with the rest of my stuff Painstakingly, I made this whole thing up That's right, I lied when I looked in your eyes Fingers-crossed, knuckles-cracked, and I threw the die Snake eyes with a side order of inevitable I saw it coming with the eyes in the back of my skull Too bad, it might have been pretty good Wouldn't have done this to you, if only I could But not me, I aspire infinitely And you were just another blip on my radar screen That's right, go home and cry like a girl I know I promised ice cream and only gave you the world I'll try harder next time if next time there be Til then, life goes on, painstakeningly
