Oh, my love My sweet love How your kiss lingers strange on my lips The faint stench of hay Remnants of clay That rash on your head Peanuts in bed It strikes me odd So very clear I sense there is something A miss
I was in love Mendel the Magnificent He was the circuses resident knife thrower Strong man and large mammal care taker Big, handsome, not too bright He was perfect I love the thrill of being strapped to his target Knifes piercing the wood all around me The intensity of his concentration Boreing right into me
On stage we where naturals Daring and delicate Daggers and velvet A breath taking sight With tragedy always just inches away Our love guided blades hit just right
Then one day i noticed a hint of indifference in Mendel He stopped throwing his knifes as close into me as usual And a woman can notice the details you know? He was lingering late at the large mammal tent every night I knew he had found another That greasy lying bastard Why would he do it? why would he trow away our love Our life, our act How could he have possibly found somebody more appealing than me How careless ungrateful and wrong could he be To destroy what we had for some tryst in a tent The was nobody in town half as charming as me So i followed him to see where he went As i snuck behind the flapping canvas The sight i saw was cause for alarm Mendel in an elephants arms
Suddenly it all made sense The stench, the peanuts How he wouldn't shut up about what a great specimen she was Always giving her extra hay I remember the way she looked at him when he hosed her down Balancing on the stool just right Swinging her tail at him in that way Oh, I should have known It was all so bestial and humiliating A womans scorn is one thing But losing out to a saggy, rough skinned, over weight, forty pounds of dung a day, subjugated zoo species The geometry staggering How does he manage, hes hung like a horse but not elephant size He must need assistance to cover the distance Does he crawl in and rub on the sides You can never mend a heart so trampled Theres nothing left for me to do His affair will be through
