You wore a white dress more or less
In this world of let’s pick up a wife
A figment of my desperation
Your body against me a knife
And I’d talk to your friends
Trying to make some amends
For my bumbling and hopeless miscues
For the too many drinks and lascivious winks
In the days when my ramblings were new
I went to see a magician
To regain some childhood innocence
But it was already known that my money was blown
And I couldn’t afford the expense
So I came to propose that you vanquish my woes
And carry me so far away
But you were un-fooled and your mind overruled
The wand I was waving that day
Now I’m living outside my memory
Of your cunning and curious ways
Of reckless unfaithful abandon
Not knowing who goes and who stays
And I stand in the sun like a man with no gun
Who has lost a war with himself
And forgive how this sounds
Now I’ve broken my bounds
I’m putting you back on your shelf
Putting you back on your shelf
I’m putting you back, putting you back
Putting you back on your shelf
