Martin Tielli & Dave Bidini

The minute you shaved your head

You ran for the mirror, but slipped in the clippings

You sat in your nest... and cried like a baby would:

"Why am I, why am I wild and...

What is a what is a monster to do?

When your teeth are so new and your tongue is for licking?"

Spent, you fell down to the floor... And dopey

You giggled, rolled sideways, and turned on the stereo;

White noise on the radio felt like a weird movie

... And I am and I...

That's such a happy way to be

Me, I can do it? How 'bout you?

You made sure the door was not open

You made sure the blinds were all closed

Gathered up pillows and took off your clothes

Each piece that fell to the floor

Each piece that showed a bit more of your skin

Lay back to your bed... so touched to the cool sheets

... And I am and I...

That's such a lonely thing to cry

Me, I can do it? How 'bout you?

The minute they shaved my head

I asked, begged, to let me a minute more to breath

My days are my lungs, but my love for you is

E n d l e s s

(Pray for me and Joy.)
