Ten Dollars

When I picked you up You were missing one of your five legs When I asked if you Would like to dance You said I'm okay Yeah, I'm okay In the time it took To finish your sentence You've grown meters long At that alarming rate I could not conflate Your seismic size of love You swallowed me whole Give me your ten dollars So I can buy a sandwich with your money And throw it in the gutter Oh, feed it to a starfish When I looked at you in the bathroom mirror I knew it was time to eat All of my life I wish I had thought twice when I Picked you from the sand You can hold my hand Oh darling babe, what do you want me to say At least I took my time It's my nature you see And I had no place to hide And I had not a sandwich in sight (I had no no no no no place to hide) Give me your ten dollars (Give me your ten dollars) So I can buy a sandwich with your money And throw it in the gutter Oh, feed it to a starfish I have to confess it ain't just your dress It's the dirt on your cheek My arms outstretched As I tell you, oh stick around Oh stick around Stick around Stick around, stick around, stick around Oh, what a cop out A grimy nasty cop out A dirty slimy cop out Give me your ten dollars Give me your ten dollars (Give me your ten dollars) So I can buy a sandwich with your money And throw it in the gutter Oh, feed it to a starfish
