Farmer John, you've got a lovely daughter Green apple conditioner like blood in the water Chipping fingernail polish, second year of college What secrets does she keep inside her heart-shaped locket? Tea so sweet It hurts your teeth Farmer John, I'm in love with your daughter She lets the towel fall and steps into the water Her slender body swinging like a pendulum As close to the beginning as I am to the end I am destructible Paranoid, untrustable Glass half empty, resentful Out of patience, out of time Fire prone, unbulletproof I cannot tell a truth Cut the shades down, pull the lights The darkest hour is just before The middle of the night When the 'child bride' jokes are getting tired Time's not on my side It's not too late, it's never too late for you To change your mind Cut the shit now, kill the lights My darling Goodbye
