Throwing Off Glass

"Why is the world so creepy?", she asked
After a car full of haircuts drove past
A backseat full of the boysI told her that, It isn't
That, that it's exquisite
But like love, it has it's barbarous threatsStill in spite of the cads
And the stoop-shouldered teens
I know I'm losing you
I know what that means, yeahI told her that it isn't
That it's real exquisite
But like love, it can have it's
Stubbed-toe effectsAnd juts like after she heard the word, 'Iridescent'
And everything was iridescent for awhile
It wasn't long before she exalted out of nowhere
Isn't this exquisite?'Once you've said, 'mmm' in unison
And, 'oh' in double surprise
And shared relief with a mutual, 'phew'
And a look in each others eyesI tell her that is isn't, insisted that it isn't
Because like love it has too-cunning effects, yeah
I told her that it isn't that it's just exquisite
Because like love it has it's barbarous threats"Why is the world so creepy?", she asked
After a car full of haircuts drove past
A backseat full of the boys
Breaking glass, throwing off glass
