fell a wren into the river bed
we buried it beneath the earth’s green grass
we met on the roof of your parents' house
you thought you were god and I did too
you have no reason for jealousy at the party on Halloween
and I am dizzy, dizzy, filling the room
on the floor of my bathroom you’re on your hands and knees
this is your sacrifice, your offering
you sing, you said, when I told you the truth
you sing, you sing…
you have no reason for jealousy at the party on Halloween
and I am dizzy, dizzy, filling the room
I waited and waited in the practice room
for something blue or new or used
and you were sad, sad, in your room
only a keyboard to comfort you
I heard you followed her home one time
when the sun hung heavy and bloated in the sky
and she just laughed, laughed, amused
and I just sat on my stoop and talked to the moon
you have no reason for jealousy at the party on Halloween
and I am dizzy, dizzy, filling the room
at the bar again you are drunk, drunk
