Sexy Time



V1
The dishwasher hums
Shoes tidied away
Watched the Daily Show
Talked about our day
Second glass of wine
Love seat just for two
Feeling warm and cozy
Some things I wanna do

PC1
I wanna touch your edges
I wanna go in deep
I'm feeling like it's sexy time
But now you're fast asleep

C1
Sexy time
(wanna do it in our)
Sexy time
(wanna be up in your)
Sexy time
But the hours in the day
Somehow manage to just slip away

V2
The house is dark and quiet
The birds begin to sing
Dawn reaches the window
Not worried about a thing
I'm lying in our bed
Alarm an hour away
Feeling warm and cozy
I'm all ready to play

PC2
Come on and touch my edges
I wanna feel you deep
I'm feeling like it's sexy time
But now you're fast asleep

C2
Sexy time
(wanna do it in our)
Sexy time
(wanna be up in your)
Sexy time
But the hours in the day
Somehow manage to just slip away

B
Kids and jobs and daily life
Family gripes and workplace strife
Everything balanced on the edge of a knife
But you're still my husband and I am still your wife
(so we'll have)

C3
Sexy time
(I don't know when but it's still)
Sexy time
(I love to feel you in our)
Sexy time
We'll just slip away
And find another hour in the day

John Ashbery

We're meeting uptown in the New York Public Library
Hanging in the city with my bud, John Ashbery
Inside the daily details he's saying something really deep
You gotta brush your teeth and you always gotta get your sleep
We'll speak in French translation and we'll tour the artist's gallery
Hanging in the city with my bud, John Ashbery

It's a list
With a twist
Which will be quite amusingly witty
Oh what bliss
(Oh my lisp)
But you look so unbearably pretty
It's cocktails and showgirls and glam evening wear
A night out in Manhattan with nary a care
When I enter the party everyone will stare
But inside I'm incredibly lonely 

The cocktail jazz furnishings of the living room
Are unsuited to our urban/R&B lifestyle.
The invitations keep piling up
Although I'm not sure if I am too interested
In sharing time that way. Can't I just
Acquire my own greedy pile
To spend however I wish?
I've known John for years
We went to school together
But recently he's been getting
Rather dog eared. A little floppy
Not perking up whenever I walk into a room
Wearing one of my fancy Nantucket sweaters
Like I did on the Cape when we first met
