MSRP (the Untimely Ballad of a Coatrack)

Put your coats on me now
(put ‘em, yeah)

Put your coats on me now
(put ‘em, yeah)

I’ll be in the corner
I’ll be in the
(find me in yours)

I’ll be in the corner
(I’ll be)

Put your coats on me now
(put ‘em, yeah)

Put your coats on me now
(put ‘em, yeah)

I’ll be in the corner
I’ll be in the
(find me in yours)

I’ll be in the corner
(I’ll be)

Waltzing insider trades
Left, right serf ball
The parlor but a ticker
5 point loss
Enclosure, enclosed arm
Close, she stares into mine, I
Eyes folded in wallet;
A dollar for heart sleeve
To suit below chain
Gang fills the frame of cortex, mine

Stiletto heels shuffle, almshouse echoes
While paternalism sharpies barcodes
Wrists and neck;

Take the high road
To low-sound sex
What’s your MSRP?
I don’t respond

Name written
Check eyes creased
But no release
Legs encircle chest, the oil rig explodes
The gulf of her thighs
The said safe to swim, safe-
Way to sin me (well)

No medal in the hurdles of words
To taste a touch, the fingerprints
On her hips
Call dancing’s grasp a crutch

Which says—

————

Put your coats on me
(which says I cannot stand alone. let alone
Let me alone, yeah)

Put your coats on me
(which says I cannot stand alone. let alone
Let—)

I’ll be in the corner
I’ll be in the
(find me in yours)

I’ll be in the corner
(I’ll be)

Put your coats on me
(which says I cannot stand alone. let alone
Let—)

Put your coats on me
(which says I cannot)

I’ll be in the corner
I’ll be in the
(find me in yours)

I’ll be in the corner
(I’ll be)
