you got away with words   but I'd forgotten about your lips   until you spoke to me   I was coming home   from you know where   and I wanted to impress you   with my new teeth   we stopped for gas   since you drove far to pick me up      and now this, and now this   story about your lips   but I don't bite no more   just fill it up and go, go on      a shortcut through the woods   your car broke down at last   I thought this is it   and reached out for you   but timing worked against me as usual   I only wanted to tell you   that I'm better now   so stop shaking, stop shaking      and now this, and now this   story about your lips   but I don't bite no more   we'll just fix the car and go, go      if there was a desert island   and you had to pick a person   to be stranded with   would you honour me?   not that I would ask   anything like that   but if you read me now   please consider it
