Movin' On Up

movin' on up
outta the casa de parrot shit
into the apartment complex in the sweet
location
with a hot tub open year round
and a spectacular view of the Sandias
but last night the water smelled like rotten eggs
and we stressed out over scrapin' together
enough change for maxi pads and milk
Ren and Stimpy cheers you up
and you wonder why I can't laugh
after killing a black spider
looking at black garbage bags filled with filthy clothes
"full of spider eggs" you tell me
from sitting in the garage so long
our life is a comedy of errors
falling in love too soon
going for it too soon
both of us dreamers who still don't know better
struggling against odds
that would have killed
lesser clowns.
