Paper Towel

I'm not immune so I commune 
With the objects in my home 
I am caressed by my razor 
And so am not alone 
I spoon an oversize pillow 
Which I bought for just that use 
And to the flowers in my garden 
I am lover, not recluse 

If you my dear were such a flower 
You would stay and only grow 
And I would tend to you and water baby
And straight up would you go 
You would spread and maybe blossom 
With each passing summer's day 
And not the suitors from a hundred hives
Could draw your love away 

Then as Autumn 
Shut the light down in advance of winter's bite
According to true lovers' creed you would not die
But go to seed 

For so it is with Paper Towels 
And other things about my place 
The old begets the new 
And the things I need keep up to pace 
But you, my dear, you're gone forever 
You left no silly seed behind 
Save a rotten pit it lingers 
Cherry (tomb)stone in my mind 

You're not a Paper Towel 
No 
You're like the wind go howling 
Ooo 

You fled as if the autumn greys
Were the heralds of final days 
Uprooting with your seeds and all cruel harvest
Of love's first fall 

You're not a Paper Towel 
No no 
You're like the wind go howling 
Owoooooo 
Can't wrap you around my dowel
No no 
You're like the wind go howling 
Owoooooo 

Bring her back for me little bo peep 
I gotta find her I can't go to sleep ...
