marsy mars - "daddy raised a jackass" lyrics

verse 1
and here two babes who found each other in the bulrushes
who didn’t make it out of the hood
but got kicked out, took off right
for the patch of old milne country wood where she told him
she’d preferred be proposed to
the ring in his pocket fashioned by the topsy turvy
perversions of the rotary kiln of a world that won’t stop turning
improbably formed, improbably strong, improbably determined
to make forever safe, loved and secure that kept within
as elshеimer paints the night, having dispatched fivе rounds of
lie+n+pinocchio, she told me she had something to show me
(me noticing all the while we’d left the car in drive the entire time)
i smote the thought she might embarrass my marriage proposal
with a proposal of her own, when she strummed up her brother’s tune
“some people dislike such music,” she said
“but it’s better than it sounds”

chorus
my love, we’ll love by a single rule:
‘who loves me half loves me none’
we’ll be the text that they teach to lovers in school
to keep them from just loving love

verse 2
we were discussing then the italian styling
of this romantic violence, and that
this country’s values move too fast
k!lling anything idling; she sang again
her tenor whose tone roisters like rolls royces
i always knew weeping ripens the voice , here conclusive proof
your song lured me away, into the vault of collective
memory where it must’ve been forged; i thought of
your folks, pr+ne to overlook much, taken
in by the spectacle of their daughter, the rich bride
the inheritance i believe i shall reject
no closer to either of your remote surmise
my mind a pleasured isle that thought of nothing for perhaps
the very first time was occupied by surprise when you said
“one thing on my list: tell me what in mention of family
or future, sees you take on every time the aspect assumed by
a horse, startled, falling from a cliff;” witty she, bold and open+hearted
i realised that i was less ready than ever to tell; and that this no longer mattered
she burred, and fl!cked her eyes, so i’d infer she’d prefer
us step inside for my inner life to alight to light to be assized
bridge
in these wood do secrets glow
just as not to let their slightness show
in the dark, in the light
having divulged, i expect i might
soon find that i’m calling through the night
“come back, come back”

verse 3
“alright, my word, and my reduction to it
the foulest of all things i intuit, is that
i may be doomed to inherit custody of
my family’s funfair of vice against my will;
that i may turn indifferent my child’s interests
culture their fear for my amus+m+nt
raise them as weapons against one another
and make my joy in withholding plain;
and that this is cargo i cannot disburse, whatever
pedigree of pirate good it attracts
and that, however much i appropriate, emulate
my dead brother’s tact, his will, his belief in man the
magnate of optimism and the required fierceness of good
he still isn’t coming back.”
as i shivered, reduced only to my word, moonlight
rivering through those tiny windows, she
made the closening moon’s glow into a ring
and proposed she turn me into a bat+shaped husband thing
that’s appropriate timing, i said
that’s a thousand clouds their thunder nicked
that’s excess most wretched i never expected
“yes,” she grinned, “daddy raised a jackass .”
