lyrics
I like your houses: pink-shuttered things
With a backdrop of sky so sky-like
Periwinkle and dove-grey
Undulating rows of wings:
Radiant from the touch of your hand
Radiant on the sun-smudged page
I like your houses
I like your houses
I like your people: slightly askew,
Careening through scene-on-scene of
Domestic grandeur
To whom everything’s brand-new
And whoever they are, they’re happier
Than anyone in this world
I like your people
I like your people
And your streetlamps, your sidewalks, the artful way
You manage to scrawl your name
I’ll keep us in stamps, keep us in chalks, keep us in clay
Keep back the dragons, glowering out-of-frame, threatening to
consume you
I like you when you’re sensitive-souled
When you’re a mensch or a pest
Or a bruiser, when you’ve steamrolled over me
And worn me rather thin
No matter your timing, no matter the mood I’m in--
No matter your timing, darling, no matter the mood I’m in
I like your houses
I like your houses
I like your houses
With a backdrop of sky so sky-like
Periwinkle and dove-grey
Undulating rows of wings:
Radiant from the touch of your hand
Radiant on the sun-smudged page
I like your houses
I like your houses
I like your people: slightly askew,
Careening through scene-on-scene of
Domestic grandeur
To whom everything’s brand-new
And whoever they are, they’re happier
Than anyone in this world
I like your people
I like your people
And your streetlamps, your sidewalks, the artful way
You manage to scrawl your name
I’ll keep us in stamps, keep us in chalks, keep us in clay
Keep back the dragons, glowering out-of-frame, threatening to
consume you
I like you when you’re sensitive-souled
When you’re a mensch or a pest
Or a bruiser, when you’ve steamrolled over me
And worn me rather thin
No matter your timing, no matter the mood I’m in--
No matter your timing, darling, no matter the mood I’m in
I like your houses
I like your houses
I like your houses
