Aussie

Once upon a time in an alternate universe not too long ago

I met the cheekiest babe from the other side of the world.

She went by Smurfette, she loved to call me Papa Smurf

and Vanity wasn’t gay, the ******* just loved himself too much.

 

She always sat by the window, detoxicating herself of verses

cranking out a few lyrics, scoping the city in the trenches.

Of the love we waged never wavering and waving a white flag

“I’m gonna put you to bed” were all our wars went to die.

 

But I was more than alive, inside the land from down under

called her Daphne the Nymph, the voluptuous Greek Goddess.

Wanted to raise little Koalas together in our Kangaroo farm

in every kiss we traded souls, in every breath we lost our lives.

 

And we gained them again back when the Jitneys were blue

our sweat-drenched bodies overtaken by some strange voodoo.

Every ship we embarked on was lost in the Atlantic without return

James Bean captained our vessel, holding it together with crazy glue.

 

In New York City locked lips inside a phone booth, it was euphoria

she was already born a Queen since she hailed from Astoria.

Our Bohemian Rhapsody blended like Cheech & Chong on a ******

her pouty lips, ****** smile, five years later how can I forget her?

 

Her voice, beautiful sparrow, vocal chords stone carved like no other

and yet normally speaking she sounded like the Crocodile Hunter

Soaked the landscape of her essence, remembrance without a beat

the song she wrote about us, plays in my heart eternally on repeat.
