WORLD OF SHIT

in this world of shit
baby you are it
a little light that shines all over
must take over
and see us through the night


daddy was a troubled genius
mama was a real good egg
why don't we just get together
for whatever
and see if it's alright


i spent so many days
just staring at the haze
and i think that that's a book
that i don't have to write again


now when i rise i shine
i've got you on my mind
and the question isn't if
the question is merely when


baby, i confess
i am quite a mess
so let's get married and
make some people
more than equal
in this world of shit


i will make a pledge
to get down off the ledge
you and i belong together
and forever we will have
our love
