I can almost expect
What you're worth to me
The search for something I care about
Leads me to consider some like you
To be honest, you're a bit of a plaything,
Some little dolly I can twist
To make me happy, one
Bird in the light's chorus
So the vanity in me congratulates you, you're in, that which I'm sure about
In my garden of the could've-beens
Where all is shelved and warm and no longer offensive
You can be great there, one of the best
And walk through the grass, the fountains of instinct
And meet the others who came before
As though you cared
There, you can taste the sweetness
Of pollen I scatter, brush past currents on the wind I send to ruffle your hair
*** it should be displayed,
Hear the laughter of girls in the painted summer
And appreciate me
