When she calls in the morningI’ve changed my number address identifying featuresI’ve sacrificed my name when sheWith news she’s selling my teeth on eBayThe teeth she broke offOne by oneWhile I was sleeping that is a lie when sheCalls in the morning I was awakeEach time she whittled away my ability to biteOnce on VH1 in a thrash metal rockumentary that is a lieIt was at the Kentucky Derby when she calls in the morningShe’s taken all my hats and next my hairand my scalp is an angry red gashOnce eating toffee by the sea that is a lieWhen she calls in the morning it was a rest stopIn Jersey and the assortment was unrealAnd of all things I chose DentyneOnce I knew all the lemon drops by namesAnd identifying features they had namesWhen she calls in the morning she wants the childrenWhen she calls in the morning and then the houseand the hospital where they won’t operate on meThere are no spare parts not even a space betweenWhistlingLike a fist of the bank in wetSeason lying through her teeth
