Avocado Baby

When you came around
and offered nothing new,
nothing old,
nothing I could use.

I wondered when did you
give up on the way
we spent our spring days
constantly talking
finding our voices amazing.

You called me over,
though I drive you crazy.

My eye's still as strong as the avocado, baby.
Though my hands start shaking in the second I awaken;
I am soft, and still, and lazy
and my tongue is on the run
and it's only just begun...
Did you ever see a good joke turn so sour?
My tongue is on the run
and it's having so much fun...
I'm growing younger by the hour.

I should wait until the spring,
wait until the spring,
but my carpet is crawling with crocodiles
and a dozen porcupines point their needles in my thumb.

Now, tippy Tina tippy-toes into the picture
with a rolling thumb and finger...
Tippy Tina tippy-toes into the picture
with a rolling thumb and finger figure...

You called me over,
though I drive you crazy.

My eye's still as strong as the avocado, baby.
Though my hands start shaking in the second I awaken;
I am soft, and still, and lazy
and my tongue is on the run
and it's only just begun...
Did you ever see a good joke turn so sour?
my tongue is on the run
and it's having so much fun...
I'm growing younger by the hour.
