Come Come Now (ending With "mermaids Are - Sage Francis

(verse)
Let me rub my back against the notches on your bedpost
scratch these afterthoughts off my flesh and shed ghosts
My head's close to your closet door. 
I've got the glass to my ear. My nose is in your
business I smell something fishy here. 
I hear bones rattling. Poems battling for space and time
Phones that'll ring when I make judgement calls with pick-up lines

I'm the one to come home. Compare. Contrast. Come fast
Make love to the present, fuck the past
Make love to the present, fuck the past. Nothing lasts
Don't you dare worry about the morning aftermath
(yeah!)

Don't you love how much you paid for your education? (yeah)
Don't you love your job and spending every day there? (yeah)
Don't you love your girl? You have such a healthy relationship. (yeah)
Don't you love having that break-up sex, that make-up sex? (yeah)

Taking an acid bath, pissing on the shower curtain
The gal just laughs and starts dissing my towel turban
I had to ask if she knew how to listen now I'm certain
Now my task is just to get up in he
