Pleasure
Pleasure came to me like a kneeling horse
Saying, "Please put your rifle away"
My long face is still itching to race
That price of yours is not mine to pay
Pleasure came to me like a schoolyard firing line
The rubber ball whipped right past my cheek
And if my bloody nose stains my priciest clothes
I'll strip down to the shoes on my feet
I knew pleasure for the night
In the toy cars and flying kites
And I know now that putting up a fight
Can't be pleasurable but one day it might
Pleasure came to me like an American tall tale
A boy planting years of apple trees
And the graces of man are ones we won't understand
Unlike the wires in a tiny machine
Pleasure came to me when I least expected it
In the humdrum of a distant voice
And the blessing and the curse of such beautiful words
Is that loving them comes without a choice
I knew pleasure for the night
In the toy cars and flying kites
And I know now that putting up a fight
Can't be pleasurable but one day it might
Saying, "Please put your rifle away"
My long face is still itching to race
That price of yours is not mine to pay
Pleasure came to me like a schoolyard firing line
The rubber ball whipped right past my cheek
And if my bloody nose stains my priciest clothes
I'll strip down to the shoes on my feet
I knew pleasure for the night
In the toy cars and flying kites
And I know now that putting up a fight
Can't be pleasurable but one day it might
Pleasure came to me like an American tall tale
A boy planting years of apple trees
And the graces of man are ones we won't understand
Unlike the wires in a tiny machine
Pleasure came to me when I least expected it
In the humdrum of a distant voice
And the blessing and the curse of such beautiful words
Is that loving them comes without a choice
I knew pleasure for the night
In the toy cars and flying kites
And I know now that putting up a fight
Can't be pleasurable but one day it might
