Big Tree

I thought this was your best get
So tell me, darling, are we happy yet?
Leaving behind the biggest mess
Try to save some face by letting people guess

Your shadow boxes out the wall
My six-foot frame, it doesn't seem so tall
Wave ribbons that you never won
Ruin the platform that you couldn't run

Effused, confused, I hope you're amused
You clutch your crutch but you never say much
Begin, begin, you know you can't win
Away, away, no substance
No say

You thought that I was yours to keep
I take some pill to help me fall asleep
You must be dreaming, I say
You must be wishful in your own way

Effused, confused, I hope you're amused
You clutch your crutch but you never say much
Begin, begin, you know you can't win
Away, away, no substance
No say

Effused, confused, I hope you're amused
You clutch to your crutch but you never say much
Begin, begin, you know you can't win
Away, away, no substance
