Red Right Ankle

This is the story of your red right ankle
 And how it came to meet your leg
 And how the muscle, bone, and sinews tangled
 And how the skin was softly shed
 And how it whispered, "Oh, adhere to me
 For we are bound by symmetry
 And whatever differences our lives have been
 We together make a limb"
 This is the story of your red right ankle

 This is the story of your gypsy uncle
 You never knew 'cause he was dead
 And how his face was carved and rift with wrinkles
 In the picture in your head
 And remember how you found the key
 To his hideout in the Pyrenees
 But you wanted to keep his secret safe
 So you threw the key away
 This is the story of your gypsy uncle

 This is the story of the boys who loved you
 Who love you now and loved you then
 And some were sweet, and some were cold and snuffed you
 And some just laid around in bed
 And some had crumbled you straight to your knees
 Did it cruel, did it tenderly
 Some had crawled their way into your heart
 To rend your ventricles apart
 This is the story of the boys who loved you
