lyrics

I could be your Gertrud if you would be my Alice
I could be the scraper if you would be a callous
I could be your Link and you could be my Zelda
I could be the iron if you would be the welder
I could be your Courtney and you could be my Kurt
you could make me froth and I could make you squirt
you could be my Narcissus and I could be your Narcissus
I could be the match if you would be an arsonist

I could be Simone and you could be Jean-Paul
I could be the 18th hole if you would be the ball
you could be a valley and I could be the fog
you could be a fireplace and me a burning log
I could be Schopenhauer, you could be free will
or I could be the coffee mug and you a free refill
I could be your Tenzing if you would be my Edmund
I could be your short legs if you were a Dachshund

Now, if I were a Monet, you would be a Manet
I could be a bank account if you would be the money
you could be Mrs. Marple and I could be a hint
you could be a cave man and I could be your flint
I could be Marina and you could be Ulay
and if you were a pig then I would be your sty
I could be your Rimbaud and you could be Verlaine
I could be Hail Mary and you could be amen

I could be an altarboy and you could be a priest
you could be a necrophile, and I newly deceased
If you were a platypus then I would be your beak
and I would be a feta cheese if you were Greek
you could be technology, then I would be a geek
and if you were a turban, then I would be a Sikh
you could be my Ernest and I could be Marlene
you can be the paper if you let me be the pen

I could be The Autobahn and you could be the lanes
you could be inflation and me John Maynard Keynes
I could be Chewbacca and you could be Han Solo
you could be Slash and I a guitar solo
I could be a salt pillar, you could be Lot
you could be a troll so I could be a bot
I could be Rodman and you Kim Jong Un
if I were Neil Armstrong then you would be the moon
