At a streetfair downtown
A 5-dollar coupon in hand
We used to buy a skinny tree
Potted up in an old rusty can

It may have looked less than promising
So leggy and light as a feather
Tentatively thought did it have roots?
Our first purchase we made together

We planted our tree in the yard
That spindly gumbo-limbo
But native to our Florida
It knew just how to grow

Just like I’d envisioned its shade
A canopy against fierce heat
Protecting us from that relentless sun
It’s now grown twenty-five feet

Six years have passed us by now
And risking sounding sappy
We’ve grown, too, as has our love
The tree and we are happy
~~
behind the shadow a distinct lost dream  
standing opposite of a long bridge
crossing through the middle cutoff
see the river flowing beneath

illusive calling but can't go
on the edge a dark sharp sign  
known voices floating over
echoing an ego which cover the shadow

how many days offset!
and try to touch the last sunset
still silhouette stands on the shore
what is mystic that always opens the door

the river bumping with waves
between the broken parts of the bridge
passing a phase of life on the ridge
yet subconscious grew a cohesion of dream

"Where does it hurt?"
Everywhere
"Specifically?"
I guess right here
"Your heart?"
Yeah
"That's not a good sign"
"How long has it hurt"
A while I guess
"When is it worse?"
At night and sometimes day
"This could be serious"
"We will take you up for a scan"
Doctor?
"Yes?"
*Please make it go away

I think some of the worst things we say say to day
Are shut up and I don't care
Telling someone to shut up is so awful, when thought about
You are literally telling them to stop talking,
Training them to silence themselves
And telling someone you don't care,
Well that's almost the same,
Because having feelings towards something
Means you care
And saying you don't care means you have no feelings
Towards the thoughts, the emotions of the other person
And that, no matter how trivial,
Can really hurt people

"For I couldn't write an encyclopedia that would describe you well enough"
God has blessed me, honestly, with the most amazing friend.

Good Christian Woman
You heavenly creature
You look so good that the beast within me wants to eat you
Sweet holy honey
Let me slither into your view
I wanna sink my fangs deep into your forbidden fruit

I am the snake in the grass of your garden
Let my venom poison your mind
I have always been inside you
Trust me, leave your chastity behind

Hey! Good Christian Lady!
What are you afraid of?
Come here, I wanna show you what the Devil's kind are made of!

Good Christian Woman
Give yourself 
unto me
This is my blood you drink and this is my body you taste
My ****** Mary
I wanna be your God
You act pure but I know what you want behind that facade

I am the snake in the grass of your garden
Let my venom poison your mind
I have always been inside you
Trust me, leave your chastity behind

Hey! Good Christian Lady!
What are you afraid of?
Come here, I wanna show you what the Devil's kind are made of!
Hey! Heavenly baby! 
Let me drive you crazy
I wanna drag you down with me into the depths of Hades
Lyrics.
