Why Do Birds Fall in Love

Go to bed
And by the kitchen window
It’s where I can go
And smoke
Let me alone a while
And I’ll return with a smile
For you
Apologies rehearsed in my mind
Killing time
And by the kitchen window
It’s where I can go
And smoke
Are we just a joke?
Like why did the chicken cross the road?
Why did the serpent lick the toad?
Why do birds fall in love?
And by the next day
You’re giving up
I like watching smoke flow from my mouth
Like a dragon or a big machine
We can pretend it’s steam
You snap and you sing
You can’t stop, you’re addicted
But roll-ups are cheap
And my technique’s perfected
Maybe quit with gum or a patch
Maybe we picked the wrong day to stop
And turn back
(Why do birds fall in love…)
