How can I be sure?
How can I be sure
That things once worn will lose their sheen
Cast along the kitchen floor?
How can I be sure?
How can I be sure
I'll so swiftly cascade from what I mean
Draped across the dresser drawer?
Flittering from a twitch, pattycake
Curling corners start to flake
Pity blessed for pity's sake
You can follow me back home
I will swivel my resolve
And wiggle warm into my ire
As every word runs down the wire
You'll go to sleep, and I'll go
