ed's redeeming qualities - poem lyrics
[verse 1]
i look in the mirror
there’s nothing to fear there
but my nose is plain on my
face
my eyes aren’t limpid pools
but if they were
ducks would sh-t all over the place
my lips aren’t cherries
but if they were
it’s hard to say what i’d eat
my ears aren’t little sh-lls
but if they were
i couldn’t hear myself think
[chorus]
people tell me
i look down
but i’m always standing
66 inches off the ground
people tell me i’m glowing
or they tell me to cool down
but the light never changes and
my heat’s small enough for
this town
[verse 2]
thighs aren’t milky
and my toes aren’t cute
and no one calls my hair
locks
i’ve never worn gossamer
i always sleep in my socks
i never see my mind’s eye
’cause my head gets in the way
i never see my heartstrings
but i know how to play
[chorus]
i am flesh and bone
i can’t live by bread alone
i am water. i am organs
but you can’t drink me
and you can’t sing a poem
i need meals and sleep
but there’s something in my soul
no one can call it, but
i think i’m on a roll
i am flesh and bone
i can’t live by bread alone
i am water. i am organs
but you can’t drink me
and you can’t sing a poem
i need meals and sleep
but there’s something in my soul
no one can call it, but
i think i’m on a roll
