Hypnotic Poison No.96

"The algae's always greener in the other muck pond," he said
"Muck pond's an interesting way of putting it," she said
"Just one week," she thought, she wouldn't be against
If he knew what life was like on the other end of the fence
Well, this past weekend he was too sick to move
Thought it might be the flu, or some viral infection
But into the bathroom with abdominal pains
He looked at himself and saw a woman's reflection
His wife came in with a smirk and said
"You were saying about 'muck pond'?"
She looked him up and down, like he'd look at her
But he was too paralyzed to respond
He felt lighter—he knew that for certain
His wife stood back and hoped he'd see the appeal
And when she asked him to peel back the curtain
She knew then for sure what she was seeing was real
He was an alright looker as a man, she'd say
But even better as a female
His new form didn't register to him as himself
And he just fainted with an exhale
It's only a physical form
It's only a physical form, honey
I'll exist here with you if you exist here with me
Well, their marriage had been strained for a while
But this was like Christmas, she'd wager
Give him encouragement, a few trips to Nordstrom
And being a girl would become second nature
"The algae's always greener in the other muck pond!" she said
"The green of your dress really brings out your eyes," her wife said
"I never thought I would feel as free as I do now," she said
It's only a physical form, honey
I'll exist here with you if you exist here with me
