Loretta and the Insect World

I just said goodbye to my lover, Loretta
For the last time
No more would she lie
Nor would I upset her

And we'd wish the same to no one
There was liquor if needed
Five miles down a dangerous road
Got me plenty of nothing right here

If I need to explode
Watch with me!
Turning to watch my child sleep
Feels good to stand beside her dreams

My time was distracted
With a love, or so 'Retta had seemed
And the howling wind
Becomes my good friend again

Instead of something we'd hide against
And it feels good to feel our love in the past tense

It was then when love turned from wonder and lust to just sin
To just sin
It was then when love turned from wonder and lust to just sin
And the whole insect world wanted in

There are slave ants, stink bugs
And scorpions with those tails, and all kinds of spiders
And the sheen round sheet of dragonfly sails

It was then when love turned from wonder and lust to just sin
To just sin
It was then when love turned from wonder and lust to just sin
And the whole insect world wanted in
