May 4. 'bout These Things

Sharp as the point of a Derby
Light like the weight of a Dead man

I don’t like to talk about these things
I don’t like to talk about these things

Honest like the hair of a shaggy dog
Brave like the bark on a fallen log

I don’t like to talk about these things
I don’t like to talk about these things

Proud as a secret in your bedroom
Humble as a salesman at a show
Reliable like venom in a bee sting
Gracious like… I don’t know

Subtle like popcorn at a movie
Spry like grandma in a fog
Permanent like soda advertisements
The government of the land I love

I don’t like to talk about these things
I don’t like to talk about these things
