Auction

and the sun sets on the auction
but the auctionairre is still talking
it seemed we had lots in common
before we started talking
you said you'd come here looking for a heart
and checked out the white elephant table
oh an elephant heart is a size too large
but its beat is incredibly stable
but its beat is incredibly stable
and the sun sets on the auction
and the thing she's spent lifetimes collecting
trickle home through cross-continental parkings
after moments of appraising and i said to you
it was a frowning copy of the mona lisa
i bought a 5 dollar phone but i still couldn't reach you after many times
trying
it was a problem with the wiring
one twenty five one thirty five one forty five sold
to shelvings and closets and cabinets are called
one fifty five one sixty five on seventy five sold
the selling of things you can pick up and hold
when what i'd rather buy is the look on your face when you started bidding
until you had bid up all the money you'd saved
and i laughed and you said i'm not kidding
and i laughed and you said i'm not kidding
and the sun sets on the auction
it gets darker now fraction by fraction
and i feel it's time to be going
that something must move me to action
and the auctioneer walks by with his mic in his hand and he says i can't do
this much longer
oh my tongue's getting slower and i can't keep up with the depth and the
need of their hunger
with the depth and the need of their hunger
