Wolly Muffler Lyrics

Wolly Muffler lyrics

all i ever wanted to be was a woolly muffler on your naked neck
double-wrap
me when it's cold
but you pulled a little tight just now
and i'm afraid i
feel a choke hold coming on
all i ever thought we might come to was second
dates

and flirting eyebrows
or maybe even psychic friends
and we
could share a secret language
and almost definitely make more of it
than
it was
but everyone around us would know
everyone watching would
know
this is not a walk with walking wounded

here's the ball, here's
the pole, now where's the tether
where's the tether?
hands can grow
together
if you're not careful or grateful or whatever
and i never much
cared much too much to begin with
i will not take your possibilities under
my care

i will not see you on the bus
you want me to hold your
hand
it's a courtship i can't stand
and here i thought you were crying
because you were happy
but no no no
friends will turn against you people
disappoint you every time

so if you've got greatness in you would you do
us all a favor
and keep it to yourself?
keep it
keep it to
yourself
a labored expat fantasy:

quit your job and move away with
me
oh what bliss it would be
to pretend we never met
i'm elated
now

i'm elated now
i'm elated now
i'm elated now
