D-Minor

A borrowed fern with a cigarette burn
 And a pawn shop ring in her hand
 At the Idaho courts to affirm our divorce
 Before the marriage began
 In a celery boat singing triangle notes
 To a horn from the military band
 The spectreworks care of Pepper & Dircks'
 Bargain Ghost and Haunted Man
 We awkwardly shielded the curious eyes
 Of innocent pines from the forest floor
 From the frying pan of a celibate man
 To the fires of the premature
 Who could ask for nothing more?
 We're an unshrunk patch on a tear of the edge
 We're an unshrunk patch on a tear of the edge
 We're a campaign badge, the short-lived match
 Of an unshrunk patch in the bellow's edge
 On the iron lungs of our language
 A by-now acquired a fern with a cigarette burn
 In a basket with a (rectangle) note on the bedroom floor:
 They repaired my fence, those bastards
 I can't go back home no more
 Save by a roundabout way, unto each day
 Is sufficient misfortune thereof
 With which to spend in proportion to your modest pay
 While shopping around for a word like 'love.'
 And impeccably chaste as a priest in the tomb
 With a Deadwood map and a dynamite hat
 I'll come back to Idaho soon
 Harmless as a Danish cartoon
 This is not the first time
 This is not the first time G-d has died
 This is not the first time
 This is not the first time G-d has died
 This is not the first time capitalized three lettered sound has died
 This is not the first time
 This is not the first time
 Won't you help me get by?
 Will you help me get by?
 Won't you help me get by?
 Will you help me get by?
 Won't you help me get by?
 Will you help me get by?
