I Love It All

I love it all but maybe you don't
And is that enough to keep us here
Is that enough to keep us where
The love is spreading everywhere
Spreading just like butter
On the bread that's on your plate
And I wish it'd last forever
But I'm just afraid it ain't

There's no flashing on the chimney
And the mortar's running dry
Some say it's a smokestack
I think it's how we die
I miss when my piano was the piano I liked
I would play that thing for hours
I would compose every night

When he turns the stove on
It ain't just to cook
He will light his cigarette
And read you his old book
Then every once in a while
He'll break your back and make you smile
He'll talk about the cats
He won't let you forget that
You love it all though maybe he don't
Is there anything forgotten here
Any stone left unturned
Any pasture left to clear
I love it all but hey you're wasting my life
If you ain't bein' honest
I don't wanna be your pawn
I don't wanna be your artist

Think we're supposed to come back
In forty something years
Bags under our eyes and
Elephantine Ears
I could plant a pony now
Sun Butt have to wait awhile
Son I will come back in style
Gotta give me a lifetime to figure it out

Come out everybody
Let's all show ourselves
I won't ever be your master
You won't ever be an elf
And quit just staring at me
I am not that fun to watch
I love it all but hey
Maybe you don't
And that's such a shitty thought
