may i? (lyrics)

jon:

“i want you out by may 1!”

pass this note right down texas
many years ago
i was tryin to seem elected
then nobody knew, now nobody knew
(nobody cared and nobody showed)

for a moment i was misdirected
but they stood right in your way
you know they weren’t even elected
merely designed to keep your demons at bay, hey

may i hold your hand, dear?
on this happy farmer’s day
yea i know not what you’re doing
but i see what you’re trying to say

(i got near near done rejected)
(and i ain’t never quite the same)
i may not have it perfected
(but i really can’t complain)

(i got near near done rejected)
gonna give it up and give it away
until another noble spirit
gave me his eardrum just to see what i’d say

looking so delectable…hey hey hey!
