sun city girls - let's pretend lyrics

i ran away with myself; away from sobriety
i was tired of living out the old drama called society
and all the while i kept hating and hating;
the only things of interest were music and dating
conflicts arose: i was caught in a trap
i lived next to a tree filled with a milky white sap
next door to the tree lived a withered old woman
i asked her to water the tree but she wouldn’t
she was an agin’ old spinster. a horrible old wreck
so i buried her out back in the ground up to her neck
she dug herself up then she ran off to h-ll
by flinging her own body into a deep dried up well
her vision of boredom was relieved by the facts
her corpse was found in the well gnawed by rats

my wife’s name is trouble; her teeth are made of lead
the sound of our love is like clinking ax heads
i blew air into her lungs then i kissed her and i teased her
it smelled like the last breath of julius caesar
she’s a great judge of character: she knows my real name
and when i get into trouble, trouble always takes the blame
we pretend we’re both religious — we really act like saints
my name once was oedipus but now it’s saint louis
i’d have to shatter my illusions and correct all my lies
by taking my fingers and putting out both my eyes
after i’d finish my illusions i’d have to pay the price
i’d go to church on sundays and drink the urine of jesus christ
let’s pretend this song was written by you as you try to figure out
the experimental meaning lying buried here —
one that a mind reader
once told you about
