Lyrics for The Clearing
Oh, she always used to be the same She'd be loose with a straight dark facial frame And now the things that used to turn me off I find endearing And they laugh behind the trees As she lies naked in the clearing I adore her, but I ignore her See, I know it won't last As I reflect upon my past But on severance she made no difference There's things I won't let her know As we're perfecting our show I want to own her, I think I'll phone her I can't explore her if I ignore her And now the things that used to turn me off I find endearing And they laugh behind the trees As she lies naked in the clearing But she won't beckon is what I reckon She may adore me but she'll ignore me Put them on a show there, we're getting nowhere She helps my snoring, so it never get's boring And she always used to be the same She'd be loose with with a straight dark facial frame And now the things that used to turn me off I find endearing And they laugh behind the trees As she lies naked in the clearing I was awake, I overheard your speech My ego dried and sank Talked with your ex and we agreed Thoughts of your sister helped us wank I'm sure you know that I have fancied her Since she began high school But park here now and I will promise I will let your engine cool
