“Dirty” – a new original song by me.
Lyrics:
Pulling tractors with your teeth
With bedroom slippers on your feet
It’s the end of the day and you’re still scheming
You invite me to play with you
Please excuse me if I’m late
I need to step on all these rakes
So embarrassed and bruised, I must be dreaming
That you still want me here with you
Now I know we can’t just do anything we wantsta
Cuz I got the kids and you got the monster
But the house that you’re building is solid and sturdy
And it’s no big deal if we get a little dirty
Once we get this off of our chest
We roll around in our beautiful mess
Is it crazy to think that I have a place here?
That I can be this way with you?
What is it you’re afraid I’ll see?
You never need that mask with me
It feels crazy to think that we’re both safe here
Makes you wonder what we could do
Now I’m try’na sort through my mental wreckage
You’re yelling at your laptop’s error message
We get rattled by our battles and we feel unworthy
So if we’re gonna get through it then we’re gonna get dirty
You light the fire and I will stoke it
You draw the crowd and I’ll provoke it
You track the bear and I will poke it
I’ll poke the bear
Shit I just poked a bear
Now you’re commander of the station
Mistress of the winter constellations
I’m a sad troubadour who’s finally singing
I’m writing this first song for you
Yeah neither one of us has ever learned to be flirty
You start gettin’ really silly and I get too wordy
But you’re grokin’ what I’m talkin’ when I’m rockin’ it nerdy
We can shower in an hour but for now we’re just dirty
Yeah I don’t give a shit about how anybody ranks us
(You drop it like a hobbit when I’m poppin’ off Jersey)
It don’t matter that you’re scattered, my attachment style is anxious
(I’m stacking up the gadgets while you’re keeping it yurty)
Cause we’re cooler and we’re wiser now than we were in our thirties
(You’re scratchin’ it in Latin and I’m workin’ it qwerty)
We can weather it together so we better get dirty
