OK - we have a record now. It's called Dee Da Di Dah and it's a love letter and you can buy it here. raspberry when i first saw you i knew we'd be together always and a day so let's get married and try to build ourselves a life together somehow someway won't you stay with me until i'm really old won't you love me 'til the sun burns cold i wish i had the guts to give all of my love to whoever i wanted to but i'm mostly scared of getting too close to just any other moose but the real reason is the only truth of all the things i've ever thought it's probably not even in proper tune and i know it means nothing and i don't mean to be mean or a threat to you understand that i've completely thought this through and remember you're the one i choose i only want to love you you treat me like a queen but i know the truth is just a mystery everybody seems to be somewhat good but still are into devilry you loved me sight unseen you lift me up and you're just so nice to me other people a crummy scene we're together and we've got magic beans i love you darling in a way that's strong and true if you needed someone to i would always be for you you're eyes are huge darling big and dewy like a doe's when you look at me that way what's behind them i don't know you're so mean i mean don't even bother just a drop in the water means i'm changing my stomach cramps and carries on hormonal pulsing metronome counting down the seconds 'til i'm dry i get emotional when i watch commercials you know the one where the egg is getting nervous you could say to me you understand what's happening how could you your garbage can's not filled with napkins my face is blotched and broken out just finished a crying bout after laughing hysterically and though it usually wears me out it reminds me of the beautiful fertility that stirs inside of me dee da di dah i don't like doing stuff please let me go back to sleep and when i wake up please don't bother me just a bowl of cereal is all i need to eat i'll watch some cartoons on the tv morning turns to afternoon afternoon to evening so the world has spun again and i still haven't done a thing that's fine i'm cool with that in fact that's the way i like it to be 'cause i don't like doing stuff maybe that's why you won't come back to me come back to me i hate to open up my mouth something stupid is sure to come out other people will see what i'm about you'll never hear me make a sound at least not when anyone is around catch me sleeping or laying on the couch basically i'm just wasting time destroying this moment 'til the next one arrives bag of chips then turn on the tube flip around the stations for an hour or two crawl in bed with a comic book forget about the dishes that i've left unwashed sleep for a good ten hours wake up wishing i could get one more microwave a frozen dinner again eat it on the floor get it all on my chin spill some crumbs all down my sweatshirt that's fine the dog's there to clean me up squandering all my precious youth but that's not motivation to make me move what makes you want to get up and go to work what makes you want to read an interesting book what makes you want to write song it's probably gonna die some day what could you possibly have to say to make a difference anyway i can't do it no the first thing i think about when i get up is how great it's gonna be later that night when i crawl back to bed turn out the light and i can go back to sleep the last thing i wanna do with the rest of my life is regret a lot of things i was too scared to try but it's much easier to crawl back to bed and read a stack of comic books i was a teenage girl and there were songs in my heart but now i'm afraid they're all gone there was a boy i used to know and he was strange and beautiful but now he's only getting old meet me at the last tree on the path and we will shout and we will laugh and then lay down and take nap you're so strange there's something that's different about you you're always changing you're not afraid of what other people won't try you color in purple crayon you can tell me what you're thinking about now i don't mind if it's inane or it's around another twenty thousand centuries from now you can help me try to figure it out if we're wrong there's always now just to lay upon the hill under the sun you can let me feel around for a minute or two in the dark i'll search for you no matter what my fear is telling me to do you can hear me though i'm hardly making a sound it's so quiet and so still and there's magic hiding in the hills i want to see you again sometime soon only if you wanted to and we can call ourselves friends make muffins tell each other fairy tales summer dream new camera and a stuttering queen winter sleep old canyon and a desert disease i saw you biting on some leaves you saw me swinging from a vine i saw you chewing all the wood up you saw me patting all the mud i saw you teasing on the hound dog you saw me stealing all his food i saw you digging through the garbage you saw me eating a fishbone monkey banana beaver tree squirrel nut little kitty cat meow
