Memorize the Dictionary - Clayton (Alabaster Boughs)

What are you trying to do to me
What are you hoping to prove?
Nobody's stealing from your fat, fat couch
Nobody's asking you to move
And now you'll never get through to me
You'll do it all for you
No one was laughing when you ran your mouth
Nobody likes it when you lose

You hate every single day but you don't ever go away, Clayton
You hate every single day but you won't ever go away, Clayton

What are you trying to do to me
What are you hoping to prove?
No one was weeping when you read your vows
Came back from your court date and you got locked out

You hate every single day but you don't ever go away, Clayton
You hate every single day but you won't ever go away, Clayton
You think you still got time?

Remember white kites overhead, your feet in the grass
O, alabaster boughs, but that was then, not now
You lit up with a smile, shut up when you heard
Got hooked, sank, got tricked and lured
You ate the bait to save face, lived to be a disgrace
Got burned, should've learned, couldn't wait your turn
You bit the end off at last, what was it all about?
Thought it was a sacred task, so you stowed your doubts, oh

The fellas at the terminal are not so kind
But you better make an effort cuz you're no friend of mine, Clayton
The fellas at the terminal are not so kind
But you better make an effort cuz you're no friend of mine, Clayton
