Ponies

Kevin hurt me with a cheap shot to my pride
Now what the fuck do you call that?
I thought I knew him... maybe not
Allegra lashed out with a cruelty I've never known
It made me cringe, I nearly choked

Are you my man?
Yeah I'm your man
And who left you that keyhole in your heart?
Angry people populate your bedroom after dark
And I can help you only if you believe you're beyond help
I'm fading away

Deep breath
Now hold it for a little bit longer
My god no wonder I'm ill

Maybe I'm not ready for thе real world
My friend Keith would hold mе underwater, when we were 10
He'd let me up when I turn blue, then push me down again
I hardly ever think of Keith, or that dead cat in the pool
He'd flick a lighter underneath my chin

Are you my man?
Yeah I'm your man
And who left you that keyhole in your heart?
Angry people populate your bedroom after dark
And I can help you only if you believe you're beyond help
I'm fading away

Deep breath
Now hold it for a little bit longer
My god no wonder I'm ill

Maybe I'm not made for the real world
High tension gigantic implosion now
I wed my child bride
A gangly Puerto Rican teen
We cuddle in the dark and brag about our gangrene
And who could help me now that I believe I'm beyond help?
Old ponies should die, not fade away

Deep breath
Now hold it for a little bit longer

If I try hard, I can imagine
I'm a crookback and a whiphand
Maybe I'm not ready for the real world
High tension gigantic implosion now
