LONG, QUICK TANGO i wanted to write some kinda song not sure what its about, but make it kinda long there'll be some drama, suspense & lots of rhymes & awesome like when marty mcfly traveled through time give me your attention & i'll give you my words i'll come up with the adjectives, the nouns & the verbs pick your poison & grab your herb what was once the voice of reason will now sound absurb forget that we are members of the monkey herd this better be good, christ, there's a while to go oh, this is just the start of the long, quick tango i'm a little chatterbox, short & stout if you can find my handle, you can pour me out sit back, relax, while i try to figure out what it is exactly this song'll be about submit while i pick the shit you gonna hear buy a beer, you know here you are among peers i'm 10% mouth, but the rest of me is ears ask pat to bake a cake as fast as he can he'll either make you really hungry or american lay the flying radical over the thing for rice i'm not sure what that means, but i thought it sounded nice most anything'll go with the long, quick tango i woke up this morning with your armpit in my face there was faint BO, mixed with that tampon taste morning breathe & dried lube which was caked on my penis, naught between us, when you queefed in my face today might be the day we quit the human race that hyped-up contest; where we'd come in fifth place behind the assholes, the hooligans, the proud & disgraced remember that time in your apartment when we musta ate something weird & picked corn kernal skins from around our buttholes - it was a romantic way to begin its just another verse in the long, quick tango go ahead kacey use the word "motherfucker" in your song please just don't do another goddamn epic folk song there's not enough space to name all the folks to give props but i just gotta say madonna, bob dylan, stephin merritt & tupac i listened to eminem once for 2 solid months; i became an asshole but i grew more nuts i have some inclination but not too much to smile some cuz only so much anger can be fun so i'll listen to herman dune & the moldy peaches & wish i was on one of those warm, sunny beaches you hear what you like in the long, quick tango the faces of ideas have hearts, too they may not always walk right or talk to the same gods you do but they're people, sure enough, just like me & you baby, when i'm lonley i'll google you hanging out on the couch with my friend rita she's cool but i doubt if you'll ever get to meet her chillin out smoking hash in beijing listening to leonard cohen & carlos jobim talking about pointy shoes & banking policy & barrels of guns & other tired theories you can make up the words to the long, quick tango the statue of liberty is kinda hot holding that torch she probably gets tired a lot she's got people-sized eyes & a pretty big heart but clear the room when she's gotta fart - she's a french chick count your blessings, lift up your heavy head i might have been spilled but i was born instead i don't wanna know what country i'm standing in but it ain't bound by language, dress, or skin it ain't dictated by cult, or clan or whim & there's a public committee gets to discuss sin you don't need a document to hear the long, quick tango i'll fail better next time, i promise you i just gotta lose these world war III blues a tisket, a tasket; i was born in a basket i'm thinking something, just not sure how to ask it yes, i confess, one mouth can make a mess with sounds big, beautiful & meaningless if the first sin was not disobedience it was that lunacy arrogance this the conversation must not end i can't decide what's worse: pure pity or plain stubornness put it all to song; its the long, quick tango
