lyrics

"Polly Ann Marie"

Through the smells of success
Tasting cigarettes in my breath
My senses have sensationalized their tone

No regrets and no resolve
Just the feeling in your arms, above all
And for just a moment I know I’m not alone

These lessons that you’ve taught me
Love is not a monarchy
Or a two-party system cannily guised as free

These chains of jealousy must be
Undone and I know I’m not the
Only one in love with Polly Ann Marie

I wish I wasn’t so reluctant to finally accept it
No Malthusian being can ever cheapen or revoke this
My pluralistic heart just complicates its single focus
My love is true, my aim is real, my flaw is my openness

Desperation in my words
A touch of regret undeserved
I’ve always valued your freedom to be free

And I’ll be yours at your request
To cherish every chance I get
I love you, bless your heart, and goddamn me

And for this, I honor your sovereignty
For this, I validate your insecurities
For this, I love you unconditionally
For this, I want you Polly Ann Marie
