I don't care when you called me at Christmas
if it was your idea or your therapist's.
I'm ready for peace, a piece of you.
I know that you think I'm always fried and baked
and I tried to kiss you at your daddy's wake.
But for a while there, he liked me too.
I can live within a budget.
I used to think the boss would sit at home at night
and think of ways to wreck my job just to start a fight.
But he's a family man, a wife and career.
He taught me how to weave your hair into sailor's knots
make wallpaper paste put out of forget-me-nots.
Polish your eyelashes till they shine like mirrors.
I can live within a budget.
I know I can't repay all the love I threw away
and if your daddy came today he'd chase me with a garden spade.
But there's an ape in the basement with the heart of a school bus.
Baby, what am i to do?
I don't care when you called me at Christmas
if it was your idea or your therapist's.
I'm ready for peace, a piece of you.
