Passionfruit

She married for insurance
She married for insurance
She needed the meds so
She married for insurance

Let's see: there was a stilt walker, a trombone player, I remember a ... stilt walker

She married for insurance
Needed the antibiotics
Two SSRIs, oh
She married for insurance

Let's see: there was a stilt walker, a trombone player, I remember a ... stilt walker

A parade of afternoon men

Family values appointee, web cam, disrope, cocktail hour,
Can't catch a thrill by a toe, by belle or by beau,
Squid ink, urchin roe, extra mayo
Scotch in a bucket, Midori Sour

When all is a thud
And your mother is a prostitute
Go reach for, stretch and stretch for a passion fruit, passion fruit

A boy has to be pretty desperate, damned destitute to pull from that branch a ripened passion fruit

A boy has to be pretty, damned in disrepute, to lift from the ground a wizened passion fruit

When all is a thud
And your mother is a prostitute
Go reach for, stretch and stretch for a passion fruit

You're either at ease, or rigid with the flag salute
Three day furlough, barracks shower, rations of fruit

John Phillip Sousa on a piccolo flute
